Why my sms don't exceed 160 character

[Android Central Question]

My Samsung Galaxy s8 can't send sms longer than 160 character can it be extended?

SMS is an archaic protocol, 160 characters is the limit for a single message.

Welcome to Android Central! Any basic text app should be able to automatically convert a longer message into MMS (which has no character limit). Is your phone sending and receiving MMS without issue?
