This announcement is hot on the heels of Twitter announcing that they will now be allowing users to post tweets that go up to 280 characters in length. Prior to that, Twitter was testing out the new tweet length for select users, but ultimately decided to make it available to all. The company claimed that users felt more satisfied at the ability to better express themselves on the platform.
The change to the display name should already be available to users, so to make changes to your display name, head on over to Twitter’s support page for the details on how to go about doing so.
