Long-form post
Also known as: X Article, Long Post
A single tweet exceeding 280 characters, available to X Premium subscribers up to 4,000 characters.
In depth
Long-form posts are a Premium-only feature that lets you skip the thread structure and publish a single, scrollable post up to 4,000 characters. They render with formatting (bold, italic, lists) and feel closer to a LinkedIn article than a tweet.
Long-form gets reach advantages: the algorithm appears to favor them because they generate longer dwell time per impression. Most successful X creators in 2026 mix threads, single tweets, and long-form posts rather than choosing one format.
AutoTweet generates long-form posts in any of 7 tone profiles, with optional formatting hints.
