How does Twitter work?

I'm on Twitter 😊 but I don't know how to use it. See this image. See that there are 354 replies to it.

If I were the slightest bit interested in seeing those replies, what do I click on? If you click on the speech bubble, you can tweet, but in complete isolation, no access to the ongoing debate. I can 'retweet with comment', I can 'love' it, I can 'send via direct message'.

What am I missing?

You click on your tweet and the replies are below.

If you wanted to see the 354 responses you just click on the text of the tweet 'police request more funds....', it will open and then you just scroll down to read the responses.

The tweet, not your tweet, sorry.

Well, I still don't get it! I clicked on the link again (to see if I was being daft), scrolled through the story, some ads, some 'more from Sky' etc, but no tweets at the bottom, at all!

I will try clicking on different parts of the text!

Yes, as pp said, click anywhere in the text of the actual tweet (not the hashtag bit) and a new box will come up showing you the original tweet and, if you scroll down, all the replies. If you can bear to read them all.ConfusedGrin

Not the link, the text.

I think you tapped on the picture, which is a link to sky news.
You need to tap on the original tweet. I usually tap just to the left of the speech bubble in the empty area.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 02/05/2019 20:49

Click any of the bit I’ve highlighted.
This will then open the tweet and you can scroll down to read the comments, if you wish.
