After expanding its character count to 280, Twitter has rolled out its newest feature that allows users to compose and publish an entire thread of tweets all at the same time.

The platform introduced the “Threads” button, or a plus button that allows Twitter users to create ”tweetstorms” allowing them to share more information or tell longer stories or arguments.

The new button, which can be found in the tweet composer, links their tweets together in just a single thread.

“But this method of tweeting, while effective and popular, can be tricky for some to create and it’s often tough to read or discover all the tweets in a thread,” said Twitter product manager Sasank Reddy in a statement on Wednesday.

“That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re making it simpler to thread tweets together, and to find threads, so it’s easier to express yourself on Twitter and stay informed.” he said.
