Under the new guidelines, photographs, recordings, GIFs, surveys and cited tweets will no more check toward a tweet's character limit. Client handles in answers will likewise be prohibited from a tweet's character limit.

(Answers will in any case just be seen by individuals who take after both clients in a discussion, however.)
