Twitter’s latest test changes ‘Retweet with Comment’ so it looks more like a Reply

Twitter's new model testing program isn't the main way it's attempting to fix discussions on its site. The organization affirmed it's right now running another open confronting test concentrated on making Twitter "increasingly conversational" — yet this time with Retweets rather than Replies. The test includes utilizing a dainty line to associate a statement style retweet to the individual remarking on the tweet, rather than putting the cited tweet in a crate as previously.

Here are some visual guides.

Today, when you remark on a tweet you're reposting, the first tweet is enclosed this way:

The new test sees Twitter killing the container completely, and interfacing the remark to the tweet utilizing a similar kind of line that is utilized today with Replies.

For instance, here is a when of the change. (Navigate to the tweet to see the pictures bigger). You can see the first look on the left, and the refresh utilizing the line on the right:

We inquired as to whether this was a lasting change or only a test, and a representative affirmed it was the last mentioned.

The test was accessible on Android on Tuesday of this current week, however started taking off to iOS clients yesterday.
