Beat the Limit – Post Status Updates Exceeding 500 Characters on Facebook

Posted by Vaibhav Kalamdani on Aug 25, 2011 in Social Media Tips | 4 comments

Recently, Facebook generously increased the maximum length of status updates from 420 characters to 500. Though this comes as good news to many, but what about those who still want to express themselves beyond 500 characters on Facebook or want to squeeze in an important update on their Business Page, but do not want to express it in a Facebook Note? 

Well, the answer is simple. All that you need is an image that can be uploaded to support the text, and implement the following steps:

Step 1: If you are using a desktop PC or a laptop, click on ‘Upload a Photo’ option first, instead of clicking on ‘Status’.

Step 2: Select a relevant photo from your drive and upload it.

Step 3: Write down as much as you want in the text box and then share it

Step 4: Voilà! You have successfully published a status update having more than 500 characters. To read the entire post, simply click on ‘See More’ once the update is made.
