This trick makes it easier to find quoted tweets on Twitter

Twitter provides a great platform for having meaningful conversations and discussions on various posts. You could comments, tweet, retweet or even quote any tweet if you find it of much significance. And in this guide, we will be discussing the latter. That is, through the given instructions, you could easily know who all have quoted a specific tweet. But before that, it is important to discuss the difference between quoted tweets and retweets on Twitter.

Retweets are simply the sharing of other tweets on your own page. So if you come across an interesting tweet and wish the followers should know about that too, you simply retweet it. In simple words, take it as a copy-paste of tweets from one location to another. Quoted tweets on Twitter, on the other hand, is somewhat different.

These kinds of tweets allow for further discussion and comments as well. So you could call quoted tweets as ‘retweet with comments’. It’s not that, you can’t comment on retweets. But any comment made on those will directly reach the original post and not the person who retweeted. However, with quoted tweets, you could start a fresh new conversation with the user who initiated this tweet.

Now that we have made the differences clear, let’s have a look at a handy trick to easily find any quoted tweets on Twitter. Also, check out our guide if you wish to disable Twitter and Facebook in-app browsers.
