X increases photo and video limit per post from 4 to 20

New Delhi: Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has increased the limit on photos and videos per post. The Elon Musk-owned platform now allows users to upload up to 20 photos and videos in a single post, a fivefold increase from the earlier limit of four.

The update went live on November 12. For the past 10 years, X capped media uploads at four attachments per post. By raising the limit, the platform offers users more flexibility to share visual stories without splitting them across multiple posts. It will particularly benefit photographers, news organisations, and content creators.

Jonah Katz, X's mobile engineering lead, announced the change in a post on the platform. "Big update to the X platform today. After 10 years of Twitter/X supporting up to 4 Photos and Videos per post, the limit has been increased to 20! Happy posting," he wrote.

The feature is already live on the web version of X and is currently rolling out to mobile apps. Users who still see the four-media restriction will need to update their app to the latest version.
