Can’t see quote reposts anymore?

In the previous web version of X, as explained in this article, you could display quote reposts by clicking the repost button and selecting [Show quotes] from the menu that appeared.

However, due to changes in X’s specifications, the [Show quotes] button has been removed, and quote reposts can no longer be checked using this method.

So, how can you display quote reposts now?

New way to check quote reposts

In the web version of X after the specification change, you can check quote reposts using the following steps.

  1. Click the post for which you want to check quote reposts

  2. If a button labeled [View activity] appears below the reply and repost buttons, click it

In that case, by using the method introduced in the section “What if you can’t see all quotes?” of this article, you will be able to display almost all quote reposts.

Conclusion

Due to changes in the specifications of the web version of X, quote reposts can no longer be displayed using the previous method.

After the specification change, you can check quote reposts by clicking the [View activity] button that appears after clicking a post, or by clicking the [View post activity] button from the menu button at the top right of the post.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.

I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
