Twitter's improved 'quote tweet' now on Android
You can type out 116 additional characters, which appear alongside the original tweet. Rather than simply adding text, the feature embeds the intended tweet within the message. If you want to test out the feature for yourself, press the Retweet button and select ‘Quote Tweet’.The feature was added for web and iOS users last week. Now, Android users can join in the fun of adding their own commentary.Twitter’s support page details the following steps for commenting on a quoted tweet:
- Tap the Retweet icon.

- Hover over a Tweet.
- Click the Retweet icon.
- A pop-up will show you the Tweet and a comment box.
- Type your own comments in the Add a comment field.
