Twitter Unveils New “Quote Tweet” Feature

Twitter has officially rolled out the new ‘quote tweet’ feature to all its users after successfully testing it last week.If you have been on Twitter, at the bottom of your tweet you will see the number of retweets, the number of quoted tweets and number of likes. If you click on the “Quote tweet”, you will see the people who have retweeted your tweet with a comment.

Previously, users could only search for quoted tweets by entering the tweet URL on twitter’s search box, but with a dedicated button right under your tweet, you can conveniently follow the conversation regarding your tweet.

“Tweets about a Tweet add more to the conversation, so we’ve made them even easier to find,” the social media network said on its platform. “Retweets with comments are now called Quote Tweets and they’ve joined the Tweet detail view. Tap into a Tweet, then tap “Quote Tweets” to see them all in one place.”

Twitter has been making small significant changes on the platform within the last few months.
