Twitter rolls out “quote tweet” feature for iOS and Web

Twitter has officially launched “quote tweet” functionality that will now embed the actual tweet instead of simply quoting it as text. The feature is coming to iPhone and Web first and will soon land on Android.

Prior to this update, when you hit “quote tweet” on mobile, it just loaded the text of the entire tweet into the compose window. This will change from today and iPhone users as it will embed the tweet instead. In order to quote a tweet, users will have to Tap Retweet icon> Tap quote tweet> Add comment and tap tweet> The Tweet will then be shared with your followers as a quote Tweet.

In addition, the update also lets you add 116 characters of comments to any tweet. The latest functionality addresses to most of the user complaints that it left little or no room for other users to add comments to the retweets.
