Inspired by Facebook, Twitter now allows users to tag up to 10 people in a phone they upload to the micro blogging service. Just like on Facebook, after you upload a photo you can select “Who’s in this photo?” and type in names of your friends to tag them in a tweet. And don’t worry this doesn’t affect the character limit.
“Tagging people in a picture makes conversations around photos fun and easy,” Twitter wrote on a blog post. “Tagging doesn’t affect character count in the Tweet — you can tag up to 10 people in a photo and still have all 140 characters at your disposal.”
In addition to this new feature, Twitter also introduced tweeting photo albums (sort of). Now you can add up to 4 photos into one tweet. Both photo-tagging and Tweets with multiple photos will display in Embedded Tweets.
