TheNewsGuru reports tweetstorm is a series of related tweets posted by a user in quick succession.

“Instead of posting tweets one at a time and replying to them in sequence, you compose everything behind the scenes and share it all at once,” the report stated.

Hidden inside the Android app is a way to write a “tweetstorm” and see it broken into distinct tweets and then tweet them all at once.

Twitter, however, declined to comment on the feature which is yet to be made available for the public.

Twitter has lifted the 140-character limit for its 328 million-plus users to send direct messages.

While Twitter is largely a public experience, direct messages let you have private conversations about the memes and news that unfold on the micro-blogging site.

The company said last year that it would stop counting photos, videos and GIF animations toward the 140-character limit.
