Social media platform Twitter announced that it is testing a new feature called “Quote Tweet with reaction” that allows you to embed a copy of a tweet into a video or photo instead of replying to it with plain text, The Verge reports.
Tweet reaction videos can now start on Twitter!

Testing on iOS: when you tap the Retweet icon, choose “Quote Tweet with reaction” to create and customize your very own Tweet Take –– a reaction video (or photo) with the Tweet embedded. pic.twitter.com/1E30F8rKYh
The company says the new feature is now being tested on a limited number of iOS users. If you have access to this feature, you will see a corresponding button in the retweet menu. Once you tap it, you’ll be able to take a video or photo to reply to a tweet.
This feature is similar to TikTok's video replies, which Instagram recently introduced for its Reels section.

Twitter has already added new ways to share tweets. For example, in December 2020, the company allowed users to embed a tweet in a message or story on Snapchat.
The company also announced that it is testing a new design that will let users write a tweet right from the main timeline view:
We’re making it easier to start a Tweet with a new composer bar above the bottom navigation menu. Now testing with some of you on iOS. pic.twitter.com/jXb260Gm08
