How to Fix “Show additional replies” on Twitter (X)

Are you frustrated with the "Show additional replies" feature on Twitter? If so, you're not alone. Many users have encountered this issue, where they are unable to see all the replies to a tweet. In this blog post, we will explore the different ways you can fix this problem and regain control over your Twitter conversations. So, let's dive in and find out how you can enable "Show additional replies" on Twitter.

Section 1: Enabling "Show Additional Replies"

To enable the "Show additional replies" feature on Twitter, you need to make sure that sensitive content is enabled on the Twitter Web version. By default, Twitter hides tweets that might contain NSFW (Not Safe for Work) text or media. However, when you enable this feature, you will be able to see all the replies, even those that might have sensitive content.

Section 2: Unmarking Sensitive Media

If your replies are marked as sensitive, it's essential to unmark any media you post as sensitive. Sometimes, the issue lies with the media attached to your replies, which results in them being hidden. By ensuring that the media you post is not marked as sensitive, you can increase the visibility of your replies.

To unmark media as sensitive, follow these steps:

1. Open the Twitter Web version and log in to your account.

2. Navigate to your profile and click on the "Media" tab.

3. Locate the media you want to unmark as sensitive and click on it.

4. On the media preview screen, click on the three dots (options) icon.

5. From the drop-down menu, select "Mark as not sensitive."

6. Confirm your selection, and the media will no longer be marked as sensitive.

Section 3: Waiting for Unshadowbanning

In some cases, your replies may be deboosted, resulting in them being hidden or not reaching a wider audience. If you suspect that your replies are being deboosted, waiting for a few days to weeks may resolve the issue. Twitter's algorithms are constantly evolving, and sometimes, temporary restrictions may be placed on certain accounts. By patiently waiting, you give Twitter's algorithms a chance to reevaluate your account and restore normal visibility to your replies.

Section 4: Step-by-step Instructions

Now that we've discussed the different aspects of fixing the "Show additional replies" issue on Twitter, let's provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to tackle this problem using both the web version of Twitter and the Twitter/X app.
