Twitter is testing a new Articles feature. According to discovered code, Twitter Articles would allow users to share native long-form content, such as a blog post within the app. A spokesperson confirmed that Twitter is “always testing new ways to help people start and engage in conversations” but didn’t share specifics.

Creators already share long-form content on Twitter through threads, screenshots, and Revue, a newsletter platform Twitter acquired last year. Due to the fact that this is already occurring, Twitter’s move to support articles and blogs is a natural progression.

Longer form content gives creators the ability to extend their thought-leadership outside of 280 characters, which could help generate more content, leading to more user engagement.
