The function could be accessed if you faucet on the variety of retweets on a tweet. In case you’re unaware, Twitter presently exhibits simply the names of customers if you view retweets. Since the function is presently underneath testing, we may anticipate Twitter to rollout the function within the coming weeks.

The implementation of the function seems to be barely completely different for some Twitter customers. In the second case, Twitter app explicitly mentions the variety of tweets with feedback. On tapping “X Retweets with comments”, Twitter lists the quoted replies. Take a have a look at the pictures within the tweet beneath for a greater understanding.

After seeing each of those implementations, I’m personally inclined in the direction of the person interface applied on the primary set of pictures because it presents all the required particulars in a extra simple method.

Since Twitter is unlikely to make a wider rollout of the identical function with completely different implementations, we should wait to see which UI will get finalized. With this addition, customers will in all probability will bid adieu to Quoted Replies, if the function will get expanded to Android and Twitter net app as nicely.

Speaking of the online app, Twitter has broadly rolled out a collapsible dialog sidebar at the moment to be able to view the media and skim the tweet’s replies concurrently.

For the previous few months I’ve been engaged on https://t.co/3bhTra9qL3’s media viewer📸 We’ve made media full display screen, and at the moment we launched a (collapsible) dialog sidebar, so that you get all of the context😻 Biggest studying: experimentation may simply show your assumptions improper🙏 pic.twitter.com/TeLHNx2aNb
