retweets
Spreads others' posts
Retweets are posts on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that share someone else's tweet to your own followers.
The retweet function lets users amplify content without adding commentary, though quote retweets allow you to add your own text.
As a verb, to retweet is to share in this way: She retweeted the breaking news.
Retweet counts serve as a measure of a post's reach and virality.
