If you haven’t noticed already, Facebook has stolen one of Twitter’s most iconic features.

The company has come under fire for stealing Twitter’s 140 character limit which the social media app allows its users for their pose.

The only change in Facebook’s feature is that the limit is 130 characters.

How to use the feature?

While creating a post on Facebook, select coloured circles and you will notice that a status message will appear against the coloured background in huge text.

Previously, Facebook copied the Snapchat stories feature for itself and its Instagram platform.

Earlier, Instagram’s head of product Kevin Weil at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in New York said, “If we’re being honest with ourselves, this is the way the tech industry works and frankly, it’s how all industries work”.

However, Twitter has yet to issue an official statement in this regard.
