Ever open a viral tweet and wonder, “Where are all the comments?”
You’re not alone. Between algorithm‑sorted replies, hidden threads, and scattered quote tweets, finding the full conversation on Twitter (X) isn’t as easy as it looks. Let’s take a look at how to fix that.
Why Can’t I Read Comments on Twitter?
If it feels like Twitter is hiding things from you, that’s because… it kind of is. Comments aren’t always front and center for a few reasons:
- Algorithmic sorting: By default, Twitter shows “Top” replies, which means you might miss the newest or most relevant responses.
- Hidden replies: Some comments get folded under “Show more replies,” especially if they’re low‑engagement or flagged as sensitive.
- Privacy settings: Replies from protected accounts or users who’ve blocked you simply won’t appear.
- Long threads: In busy conversations, replies can easily get buried several layers deep.
Switching to “Latest” replies and expanding hidden threads usually helps — but even then, it takes some digging. If you’ve noticed other features acting strangely — like missing saved posts — you might want to check out why Twitter Bookmarks sometimes disappear.
How to View Comments on Twitter (Mobile & Desktop)
Whether you’re doomscrolling on your phone or “working” on your laptop, here’s how to actually see the comments you’re missing:
On Mobile (iOS & Android):
- Tap on the tweet you’re interested in — this opens the full conversation view.
- Scroll down to see replies.
- Tap “Show more replies” to expand hidden ones.
- Switch from Top to Latest (or All, depending on your UI) by tapping the filter at the top of the replies section.
On Desktop:
- Click the tweet to open it in detail view.
- Scroll down for comments — same deal, “Show more replies” is your friend.
- Use
Ctrl + F(orCmd + Fon Mac) to quickly find keywords within replies.
Curious about a specific user’s activity? Here’s a deeper look at why you can’t always see someone’s likes on Twitter — and what you can do about it.
How to View Quote Tweets and Comments on Video Posts
Some of the best reactions aren’t in the replies — they live in quote tweets or under video posts.
1. Quote Tweets (Retweets with Comments)
- On Mobile: Tap the “Retweets” count → Select Quote Tweets.
- On Desktop: Same process — click the retweet number, then switch to Quote Tweets.
- Advanced: In the search bar, paste the tweet URL and add
is:retweetto see only retweets with comments.
2. Video Tweet Comments
Video tweets often get reposted or quoted, scattering the conversation. To follow them:
- Click “View Tweet” to jump to the original post.
- Add keywords plus
filter:repliesin search to find related discussions. - And don’t skip “Show more replies” — that’s where hidden gems often are.
If you want to go beyond just reading — like organizing or saving these comments, videos, or GIFs for later — Twitter’s built‑in tools won’t cut it. That’s where a dedicated tool like ArchivlyX can make the whole process easier and more manageable.
