What is a quoted tweet?
A quoted tweet, also known as a “retweet with comment”. In other words, when a user reposts another user’s tweet and adds their own comment or thoughts to it. This feature allows users to share someone else’s tweet and add their own context or perspective to it.
When you quote tweet, the original tweet will be visible in your tweet with “Retweeted” label on top of it, along with your comment, which will be visible in a separate box. The quoted tweet will include a link to the original tweet, so that other users can see the original tweet.
Users can also use the Quote Tweet feature to add their own comment, thoughts, or reactions to a tweet, rather than simply reposting it. This can be useful for adding context or starting a conversation about the original tweet.
