Twitter tests feature helping users to view quote tweets easily

Twitter is testing a new option that shows users the number of times that a post has been retweeted with a comment.

The feature was first spotted by app engineer Janne Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) who had said that the micro-blogging platform was testing out the feature to make it easier for users to view quote tweets.

“Twitter is working on `quote_count` Tweet Object attribute in the API, showing the possibility of including such metric in the app, or formalizing the ability to view quote-tweets,” Wong had tweeted.

Multiple users on the platform had noticed the feature within their account on Thursday and had posted screenshots of the same. It was later confirmed by Kayvon Beykpour, product lead at Twitter that the platform was indeed testing out the feature for select users.
