The 140-character limit has finally been removed, but will continue to exist for tweets.
The change started rolling out today Thursday Aug 13,2015.
Twitter's Sachin Agarwal, product manager for DMs, had mentioned this plan in a June 2015 post, which had put the new limit at 10,000 characters.
But today's post did not mention that, and the company is implying unlimited length.
"We’ll begin rolling out this change today across our Android and iOS apps, on twitter.com, TweetDeck, and Twitter for Mac. It will continue to roll out worldwide over the next few weeks," Agarwal said in the post.
That means the change might not be immediately visible for people who are using Twitter through the website
Note
Twitter has been pushing for higher usage of the DM feature, perhaps with the aspiration of making it a messaging platform like Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger.
