Fausto Chou tweeted, “@Twitter quietly renamed #Notes, which was in the experimental stage, to #Articles earlier in the day!”
Yaroslav tweeted saying, “Twitter is testing “Notes”. While you can’t write a note at the moment, you may check some UI under the “responsive_web_twitter_article_notes_tab_enabled” flag. Go to More -> Creator Studio -> Write.”
Elon Musk tweeted replying, “This will allow users to post very long, complex articles with mixed media. You could publish a book if you want.”
When would ‘Articles’ be launched?
It is yet to be known when the feature would be rolled out for users across the world. However, it is quite understandable that Twitter’s main intention for releasing this feature is to retain users due to increasing competition from Threads and Instagram.
