Twitter's Quote button now embeds the original tweet and lets you add about 116 characters of commentary.
Twitter has finally fixed its “Quote” button, making the feature more usable and good looking. With the new Quote button, the original tweet is embedded instead of adding it as text in the compose box. More importantly, Twitter is allowing you to add about 116 characters of commentary with the new quote button.
The update has reportedly been rolled out for iOS users currently, we hope the Android version will receive the update very soon.
The latest change fixes a long pending complaint users face with the quote feature. Earlier, the feature didn't give enough space for users to add their commentary to the original tweets. However, the new change will make it easier for users to add commentary as well as make the Twitter timeline look better. The company can hope for more user engagement, subsequently more possibility for advertisers.
