X now lets you add 20 photos and videos to one post

X has raised the long-standing cap of four photos and videos per post to 20. Jonah Katz, the company's mobile engineering lead, announced the change, and the official Creators account says you can scroll sideways through them.

At a glance

  • X has increased the number of photos and videos you can add to one post from four to 20, after what Jonah Katz, X's mobile engineering lead, called 10 years at the old limit.
  • If you don't see the change yet, Katz says to make sure the iPhone or Android app is up to date.
  • Allegra Jacchia, who works on creator product at X, demonstrated the new limit with a 20-photo summer recap. The official Creators account later posted that you should get ready to scroll sideways.
  • 9to5Mac reports the change is already live on the web, and that if you're not seeing it on a phone, you should update to the latest X app for iOS and Android.
  • The announcements concern how many attachments a post can hold. They don't say the limit is tied to an X Premium subscription, and they don't announce longer individual videos, higher upload resolutions or a change to file-size limits.

X has raised the number of photos and videos you can put in one post from four to 20.

Jonah Katz, X’s mobile engineering lead, announced the change, saying that after 10 years of Twitter/X supporting up to four photos and videos per post, the limit has been increased to 20. His post included a swipeable run of photos. In a follow-up, he thanked teammates and said that if you don’t see it, you should make sure your app is up to date, with links to the iPhone and Android apps.

Allegra Jacchia, who works on creator product at X, posted a summer recap and called the new limit “a gift for you: you can now upload up to 20 photos and videos in one single post.” That post carries 20 photos.

The official Creators account followed with a short video: “Get ready to scroll sideways. You can now add up to 20 photos and videos in one post.”

9to5Mac reports the change is already live on the web, and that if you’re not seeing it on a phone, you should update to the latest X app for iOS and Android.
