Who retweeted your tweet with a comment? Now on the iOS app for iPhone and iPad, users can find out more easily and quickly all in one place with a simple tap.

Twitter made the announcement Tuesday with a post on its own platform (as you would), together with a 37-second video to explain.

A simple tap

The feature is quite simple. With the iOS app, users can tap on the Retweets marker on any tweet and be met with two lists — one for Retweets with comments, and one without.

Previously, simply knowing if someone had commented on a tweet was slightly more difficult to find. The new feature makes now finding retweets with comments simpler and easier.

Twitter has been gradually rolling several improvements in the past few months. Last week, Twitter announced a new feature designed to discourage people from using “offensive or hurtful language” in their replies. Using artificial intelligence, Twitter will search just-posted tweets for their language and display a pop-up message telling the user their tweet may contain offensive language, and asking if they would like to revise it.
