X is testing a new option to include and view expanded profiles / bios in the app. Expanded profiles can be used to add more detail about oneself which can be viewed by others when they tap on ‘view more’ below the bio summary.
This can be a practical element for both business and personal accounts. Companies can add more information about their services and vision, while individuals can mention their portfolios or job histories / resumes in the section. In a nutshell, expanded profiles can allow you to add more context in your bio, hence enhance your presence on the platform.
The update seems to be part of X’s broader initiative
towards integration of long-form elements into the app. Previously, the
platform has added options of writing longer posts and uploading longer videos.
However, long-form tweets don’t seem to have created much of an impact, so it’s
hard to say right now if users will or will not appreciate the addition of
longer bios.
NEWS: 𝕏 will let you see expanded profiles soon! https://t.co/vyzc5TADNU pic.twitter.com/tQzjaDiQs7
