It's all about technology. Text App uses SMS (Short Message Service), which has a built-in character limit of 160 characters. This standard was established to ensure compatibility between different phone networks and devices.
Important to remember:
Special characters and emojis often count as more than one character, so your message might be shorter than 160 characters to fit within the limit.
Most messaging apps, including Text App, automatically split longer messages into multiple parts (called segments) to accommodate the character limit.
While it might seem limiting, this standard has been in place for decades and is the foundation for text messaging as we know it.
