You can now add GIFs, videos and photos to your retweets on Twitter

CAPE TOWN – Twitter recently announced that users can add GIFs, videos and photos on the platform to their retweets on the social platform. 

According to Twitter, the feature ran the risk of creating clutter on the platform.

The company said in a statement: “These changes impacted the Tweet detail page and timelines so we accommodated the design and functionality nuances across each of those areas."

“Another update is coming soon to make Retweets with media more interactive and easier to read.” 

Users can use the feature by selecting the “retweet with comment” option when sharing a post on Twitter. A new blue bar will pop up and then prompt you to use the new options.
