Twitter Blue lets subscribers upload two-hour videos

Twitter Blue subscribers can now upload longer videos up to two hours and 8GB in size. The company increased the limits to attract more content creators to the platform (or at least entice them to return and pay for its subscription service). You don't need a subscription to watch the videos, though. 

Video quality is still capped at 1080p for everyone. This update allows iOS users to upload videos in the mobile app, but Android users can only do so via a web browser.

Twitter's Edit Tweet expected to come to Twitter Blue subscribers in Canada starting late Sept. 2022

Twitter has begun testing its most requested feature. The company announced that it started internally testing an Edit Tweet option. It plans to roll this out to Twitter Blue subscribers in Canada and three other markets (Australia, New Zealand, and the US) starting as early as late September 2022. 

Twitter gives you up to 30 minutes to edit a tweet "a few times" after you've hit Tweet. The edited tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp, and label that clearly states the original tweet has been modified. When you tap the label, it'll show the tweet's edit history. As Twitter says in its blog post, this helps "protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said." While not all users will get the option to edit tweets, everyone will see edited tweets soon.

Twitter Blue for Android gets app navigation bar customization

Do you want to remove the Spaces icon in your Twitter navigation bar? You'll need to subscribe to Twitter Blue. Twitter has finally brought this option to Android users. (iOS Twitter Blue subscribers got first dibs on the feature.) You can now tweak your navigation bar so it'll only show the features you use frequently.

This won't entirely get rid of Spaces in your timeline. In fact, Twitter is doubling down on bringing the audio feature to your attention. You'll see more information on active Spaces in a banner at the top of your timeline, and neither paid nor free users can get rid of this banner.
