Want to see which X (formerly known as Twitter) users have liked, quoted, or retweeted you? Even though some things have moved around since Twitter became X, it's easy to see who liked or retweeted (now called "reposted") you once you know where to look. This wikiHow guide teaches you how to find the usernames of people who've liked or retweeted your tweet on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.

Things You Should Know

  • In the Twitter/X mobile app, tap a tweet to open it, then tap either "Likes," "Quotes" (for quote tweets), or "Reposts" (for retweets).
  • On a computer, click your tweet, then click "View post engagements" to find the "Likes," "Quotes," and "Reposts" tabs.
  • To see likes and retweets on another person's tweet on a computer, click the tweet, click the three dots at the top-right, then select "View post engagements."

    • Click Quotes to see who retweeted you and added their own comments.
    • Click Reposts to see who retweeted you.

    Twitter offer their own search tool where you can follow the post. A third-party app might help, Backtweets is a great way to track certain links.

  • Question
    Why does it say 'no items' when I press both retweets and likes, even though it says people have liked it or retweeted it?
    Community Answer
    Try to update your Twitter App. Updating new features of the app can help the app better performance and better service.
