Twitter is upgrading its retweets function, allowing users to interact in different ways.
Users can now add a video, GIF, or photo to a retweet. Prior to the update, users could only use text with a retweet or quote tweet.
The feature is now live on iOS, Android, and the mobile website versions of Twitter.
