Twitter thread

How do I start a Twitter thread on my S6 phone? The path supplied by Twitter, doesn't work. If anyone knows, & wants to tell me, explain it to like I'm a newbie to this (which I am), & I've wandered from my village.

Welcome to Android Forums, JayDeeSea1!

How do I start a Twitter thread on my S6 phone?

I've been on Twitter almost since its inception, but I'm afraid I don't know what a 'Twitter thread' on a phone is. Can you please explain exactly what you're trying to do?

The path supplied by Twitter, doesn't work.

Can you share the path? And who on Twitter gave it to you?

If anyone knows, & wants to tell me, explain it to like I'm a newbie to this (which I am), & I've wandered from my village.

Now, now! We were all newbies at one point.

what happens? is there an error? do you mean using hash tags (#)?

The screenshot I included, has more to it & can be found in the help center, using 'thread', in the search option.

1. tap the compose icon to draft a NEW TWEET

so what happens when you try to compose something?

A thread (multiple tweets), is different from a regular tweet (which I can do w/ no problem).

Okay! From your OP, I had the idea this was something to create/put on your phone.

When you're logged in on Twitter, start to compose a new tweet as usual. But when you're done filling it up, instead of sending it, press the + icon that's near the bottom of the tweet. This will add a new, blank tweet for you to type in. Repeat this process until your 'thread'--which is more like a chain of separate tweets--is complete, THEN send it. They'll all be sent together.

If you're still not clear, I'll post screenshots stepping through the process.

So far, so good! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! If ANYONE can get Twitter's attention, let them know that the, start a thread for S6 doesn't work.

Yay! You're very welcome.

Good luck with that! Twitter's 'support' doesn't.

I shouldn't have posted. I've never used twitter.

 

[joe71]

I don't use it, Snapchat, Instagram, Myspace or Facebook
First I think Snapchat and Instagram are more for teens.
Second Twitter what the bleep am I going post about "eating banana watching paint dry
#banana #dry# best life ever!
I left Facebook because of oversensitive little mama boys

Yeah, and/or self-absorbed people with too much time on their hands. I use neither.

Second Twitter what the bleep am I going post about "eating banana watching paint dry
#banana #dry# best life ever!

Ha ha, that's not how I use it!

I tweet things that are important to me. For example, as a vegan and animal rights advocate, I tweet things like petitions to end the heinous dog meat trade in Asia. Or, as a proud resident of Arcadia, I'll tweet things like when one of our students is among 10--worldwide--who got a perfect score on an AP Calculus exam. Stuff like that.

I left Facebook because of oversensitive little mama boys

I left because of fb's covert practices involving privacy and security--and they've only gotten worse in the ten years since then! Storing passwords as plain text...that employees could read...just unbelievable--and that was recent!
