Twitter now allows you to combine photos, images and GIFs into a tweet

Twitter announces that it is now possible to post a tweet combining text, photos, videos and GIFs. This represents a notable change for the social network.

Multiple types of media in tweets

Until now, it was possible to post only text, up to four photos, a video or a GIF. Mixing the different formats was not possible. Now all you have to do is tap the photo icon in the tweet composer and add the media of your choice. The content you add appears side-by-side or in a grid, depending on the number of images, videos, or GIFs you add.

Get ready to mix it up with visuals on Twitter.

You can now add a combination of media to your Tweet on Android and iOS. That means you can include a photo, GIF, and video (or two!) all in the same Tweet. Tap the photo icon in the Tweet composer to start mixing your media. pic.twitter.com/9D1cCzjtmI

This is what Twitter announcement :

We’re always looking for new and exciting ways to help creators share more and be seen. Mixing different types of visual content in a single tweet allows creators to express themselves beyond 280 characters and gives them more ways to tell their story.

For the moment, the novelty is only available on the iOS and Android application of Twitter. We can suspect that it will happen later on the Web version, but the social network does not specify when. Also, everything does not yet seem to be in place concerning the tweets integrated on the sites. Below, the tweet includes a GIF and a photo. However, the embedded tweet only displays content.
