X raises the media limit to 20 photos and videos per post

X raised the media limit on a post from 4 items to 20. A single post can now carry up to 20 photos and videos combined. The cap of 4 had been in place since 2014.

A post with many attachments scrolls sideways as one swipeable set, under one caption and one reply thread. X's official demo of the change runs 14 seconds.

The higher limit is live on the web. On iOS and Android, update to the latest X app, or restart it, if the composer still stops at 4. Jonah Katz, who leads mobile engineering at X, announced the change.

Embedded posts on other sites show only the first 6 items, according to Mobilelaby. Reordering attachments works in the apps but reportedly not in the web composer yet. X didn't announce any change to per-video length, resolution, or file-size limits, and it hasn't said the higher limit needs Premium.
