Twitter is testing a new option that shows you all the times a post has been retweeted with a comment, the company has confirmed to The Verge. In screenshots posted by users with the feature enabled, a new Retweet with comments counter can be seen alongside the existing Likes and Retweets numbers. Twitter said its currently testing the feature with a small group of iOS Twitter users.
The feature wont show you anything you cant currently find using the services search function, it just makes it much easier. Thats important when some Twitter users use quote tweets to reply to a tweet, rather than using the services built-in reply functionality to neatly organize tweets into conversation threads. Currently, if you want to find quote tweets, you have to paste the tweets URL into the services search box.
Its worth noting that Twitter has experimented with a few UI changes over the past year, but very few of them have actually turned into fully fledged features. There was its original tweeter label that was meant to highlight whod started a particular conversation thread, a snooze feature for notifications, and an option to get notifications for responses to an individual tweet. Theres every possibility that Retweet with comments could join them.
