The 'reply reposting assistance function' posted by a Twitter user pre-enters the content of the deleted reply when reposting a reply to a specific tweet. You can see what this feature really looks like by watching the movie below.




This movie is to actually use the 'reply reposting assistance function' to repost the reply. First, tap the balloon icon for a specific tweet ...



I will reply.



Then delete this reply ...

According to Liz Kelley of the Twitter communications team , 'it's just a bug and we're currently investigating it.'

'You probably won't be able to edit tweets later on Twitter,' asserts Twitter CEO Dorsey-GIGAZINE.
