When it was launched in 2006, Twitter came with a character limit of 140 which was later increased to 280. But often people want to write more and the Continue Thread now offers a way out.

The feature enables you to provide additional context, an update, or an extended point by connecting or linking multiple tweets. If you have not tried the feature yet, start now.
