Twitter revamps 'quote tweet' function for iPhone and web which can add upto 116 characters to any tweet


Today Twitter revealed that it's improving its way to quote tweets bu giving new looks. Now, instead of quoting tweets via a link or direct text, whenever you quote a tweet it will embed the actual tweet inside yours. Instead of a plain link, the embedded picture makes it easy to see what the fuss is about, and a new quote tweet button will make it even easier to share amusing content with your followers.

It's also a kind of sneaky way around the original 140-character limit because the new "quote tweet" feature allows you to add 119 characters in your comment to any quoted tweet and its a great improvement, as before, Twitter users were left with few characters to comment on quoted tweets. Any comment on the older style of a quoted tweet was more like a caption than a message. Twitter hopes to bring up more communication with their new functionality.

For now, the new features are only available on the Internet and iPhone's official version of twitter. Means if you are using third-party app, like TweetBot, then you won't have access to the new way to quote a tweet.

Twitter says its new tweet button and features will be available on Android, iPad and Mac"soon,". So we've to wait and see how long it takes. Until then, other users will have to make do with the old style of quoting tweets.
