X raises post media limit to 20 items in major update

X has significantly expanded the capacity for visual content sharing by raising the limit on images and videos per single post. The new ceiling allows users to attach up to 20 media elements, replacing the previous restriction of four. This adjustment represents a fivefold increase in the allowable volume of visual assets within one publication.

Accessing the new feature

The updated functionality is currently live on the web version of the platform. Mobile users can access the change by updating their applications to the latest available versions on both iOS and Android operating systems. If the feature does not appear immediately, it may require a fresh download or installation of the newest app build.

Recent platform changes

This modification follows a series of recent adjustments to the service. Approximately two weeks ago, the company introduced more than 12 new icons to its mobile application interface. These developments occur alongside broader efforts to expand service offerings and refine user tools throughout the current year.

Earlier this year, X launched its financial payment service, known as X Money. Concurrently, the platform decided to discontinue the standalone messaging application XChat. The strategy now focuses on integrating communication and messaging services directly into the main application rather than maintaining separate entities.

With the implementation of the higher media limit, users gain greater flexibility in compiling photos and video clips into a single post. This replaces the earlier constraint that required splitting larger collections of media across multiple publications due to the four-item cap.
