Twitter’s revamped Quote Tweet feature is now rolling out to Android

Last week Twitter unleashed a revamped Quote Tweet feature that allows users to type out a full 140 characters for whichever Tweet they’re quoting. It was only available on the web and iOS, but now Android users are about to get in on the fun.

The company announced that the feature is now rolling out to the Twitter for Android apps, and sure enough there’s a nice update sitting for you over at Google Play right here.

The original Retweet option that only mirrors the Tweet to your timeline is still there, but if you’re wanting to add a bit of commentary there’s no better option right now than the native Quote Tweet feature. Have a go at it as soon as you find something worthy enough to be echoed!

Twitter rolls out revamped “Quote Tweet” feature, coming soon to Android

Twitter has always been somewhat against quoted Tweets when it comes to sharing, and for good reason. The original tweet often takes up too many characters for the person who’s sharing to make any sort of comment of their own.

Thankfully they’re introducing an all new system that allows users to embed a Tweet within a tweet. You get all 140 of your own characters to write, and the Tweet you’re quoting / commenting on is shown right below.

Only, there’s one catch for us Android users — we can’t use it yet. It’s rolling out to the web and iOS versions already, but Android has been put on the infamous waiting list. We’re hoping the wait won’t be too long, but in the meantime you can check out Twitter’s quick set of instructions right here to get familiar with the system ahead of its arrival (and give it a try on the web version of Twitter if you aren’t above that sort of thing these days).
