Twitter allows you to repost a Tweet with all your followers with the retweet buttons, which is one of the most vital tools used on the platform that helps amplify voices and opinions. Sometimes, people use the RT prefix while re-tweeting just to make it clear to others. These retweets are counted alongwith your original tweets and thus are included in the 2400 tweet limit per day limit.

Quote tweets, on the other hand, are retweets with a comment. You can add media like photos, GIFs and videos while quoting a tweet and retweeting it to your followers.

In this article, we explain how you can delete a retweet and a quote tweet on Twitter.
