A weak chirping sound, as of a young or small bird. A Tweet that you share publicly with your followers is known as a Retweet. This is a great way to pass along news and interesting discoveries on Twitter. You have the option to add your own comments and/or media before Retweeting. When using Twitter's Retweet icon, your Retweet or Quote Tweet will reference the Tweet you are sharing. This is a known issue, and I'm still looking for solutions to this problem. If refreshing the page and trying again doesn't work, a workaround I can suggest is to just take a screenshot of the Tweet preview. If you don't know how to take a screenshot, here are some instructions. How to Tweet Type your Tweet (up to 280 characters) into the compose box at the top of your Home timeline, or click the Tweet button in the navigation bar. You can include up to 4 photos, a GIF, or a video in your Tweet. Click the Tweet button to post the Tweet to your profile.
How to delete multiple Tweets
- We do not provide a way to bulk-delete Tweets. You can only delete Tweets manually, one by one.
- If you're looking to get a fresh start on your Twitter account without losing your username, the best way to do this is to create another account with a temporary username, and then switch the username between your current account and the new account. Please see our article on changing your username for more info.
What happens to Tweets I delete?
- When you delete a Tweet, it is removed from your account, the timeline of any accounts that follow you, and from Twitter search results on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, and Twitter for Android.
- Retweets of the deleted Tweet will also be removed on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, and Twitter for Android.
- Once a Tweet has been deleted, the Tweet contents, associated metadata, and all analytical information about that Tweet is no longer publicly available on Twitter.
- If other people have copied and pasted part or all of your text into their own Tweet, their Tweets will not be removed.
- If other people have Retweeted your Tweet with a comment of their own, their Tweets will not be removed.
- Tweets may be cached or cross-posted on third-party websites, applications, or search engines. We cannot remove Tweets that are not on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, or Twitter for Android.
