How To Share a Tweet?

Twitter is the best social media app to keep yourself updated with the world’s happenings. Enormous casualties like the Queen’s death, or something as small as two Dutch politicians flirting with each other, Twitter is the first to know.

So what do you tend to do when you see something unreal, funny, or downright weird? Share it with your friends, of course. But how can you share a tweet?

Twitter has a pretty self-explanatory user interface with helpful icons and easy-to-understand navigation. Sharing a tweet with your friends is easier than you might expect. 

In this article, we will be explaining all the ways through which you can share a tweet. 

Ways To Share a Tweet Using a Mobile Phone
