Tweet Your Location

Follow the steps to compose a tweet. If you would like to add your location to your tweet, simply select the location icon – it looks like a map pin. Tapping this button will automatically add your location. Tapping it again will remove your location.

Note: If “Post Locations” is disabled under settings and you try to add your location to a tweet, a window will pop up to offer you to enable Location Tracking. You must select “OK” to be able to add your location to the tweet.

Mention Someone

Tweet More Than 140 Characters

Follow the steps to compose a tweet. Once you've entered a tweet that exceeds 140 characters, you have two options to shorten it and tweet it:

1. Try out our text shortening button - looks like two arrows pointing inwards. This will turn words into shorter versions of themselves, where possible. For example, "love" becomes "luv" and "one" becomes "1".
2. Just send it! Sending a long tweet will cause a pop-up permission window that says "This tweet is too long to post directly to Twitter. Would you like to use Tmi.me (or TwitLonger, if you've selected that) to send your message to Twitter?" Selecting No will return you to the tweet composition screen. Selecting Yes will send a segmented version of the tweet, with a link included that takes your followers to the full tweet's text at TwitLonger's website.
