You can do this by tapping the &#8216;Down Arrow&#8217; icon next to the reply. Once you have done this, you will be prompted to confirm hiding the reply. Tap the &#8216;hide reply&#8217; icon again to view the hidden replies. The &#8216;hide reply&#8217; icon will not appear if the original Tweet is protected or deleted. This is an important feature to note.<\/p>\n<p>Using Hide Replies helps balance the conversation and prevents trolling, trolls, and other offensive comments. By hiding replies, the original poster is in control and can choose whether or not to see them. Hide replies do not disappear from the tweet, but are hidden behind an extra click. This feature has been a hit and miss experience for users. But it seems to be working. Here&#8217;s how to view hidden replies in Twitter comments:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_private_message_button\"><\/span>Adding a private message button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a private message button to read Twitter comments is a relatively simple process, but it could open up a Pandora&#8217;s Box of new problems. While Twitter has already made some changes to combat abusive DMs, adding a shortcut to DM someone directly remains an open question. Users must either choose from a conversation already underway or type in the username of the person they wish to DM.<\/p>\n<p>A private message button on Twitter&#8217;s web platform could be a great way to double check opinions, or it could be a way to encourage brands to respond directly to users. While the new feature is only available on iOS for now, it could make direct messaging even more useful for those who wish to keep their comments private. If it&#8217;s implemented properly, it could even make Twitter comments easier to read.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_retweets\"><\/span>Finding retweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that the number of retweets in your tweets isn&#8217;t as large as you would expect. Twitter&#8217;s new system of retweets allows you to see who has retweeted your tweet, which is an excellent way to increase your tweet engagement. Here&#8217;s how to find retweets in Twitter comments.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, users could only see the number of retweets in a tweet without the comment. But Twitter has made this process much easier. All you have to do is click on the number below the tweet&#8217;s content. You&#8217;ll see a list of retweets with comments, along with the total number of regular retweets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retweeting_a_tweet\"><\/span>Retweeting a tweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to read comments when retweeted a tweet. The first way is to respond to the tweet. This is as simple as clicking on the tweet. This will open a new screen with the number of RTs and the number of comments. You can then click on the comments to read them. If you don&#8217;t have time to respond to each tweet, you can simply view the comments by clicking on the text of the retweet and scrolling down to see them.<\/p>\n<p>The second way is to click on the retweet icon, which is located below the tweet. This will open a dialogue box with the retweeter&#8217;s comment. If they have a comment to leave, you can choose to leave it or skip it. However, if you are a new user, you may not want to leave any comments. If you have a Twitter account, you can retweet others&#8217; Tweets if you want to get more followers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_private_message\"><\/span>Adding a private message<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To add a private message to Twitter comments, follow the instructions below. You will need to be signed into Twitter. You can reply to a message by tapping the &#8220;To&#8221; field and typing a message. You can attach images to your message. Once the person has received your message, they will see it in their &#8220;DMs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Viewing_comments_on_a_tweet\"><\/span>Viewing comments on a tweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can read all the comments on a tweet, whether they were made by other people or by yourself, by clicking the &#8220;comments&#8221; icon next to the tweet. However, you cannot see hidden or deleted comments. To see the full comments, you must sign in to your Twitter account. Once you do, you will see the Tweet history, and you can see who posted the comment. This feature is particularly useful if you have received a lot of replies to your Tweets.<\/p>\n<p>The reply icon, with a blue border, will open a pop-up window where you can type a reply to the tweet. By doing this, you will be able to see who liked your tweet, and who replied to it. Similarly, the like icon will close the pop-up after you have replied. You can also see who liked your tweet, and who retweeted it. In this way, you can see the people who reacted to your tweet.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wX7gKTkXjD8\" height=\"302\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"541\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Read Twitter Comments If you are wondering how to read Twitter comments, here are a few tips for you to use: Viewing hidden replies Hide your replies on Twitter.
