**To find replies written by a specific user on X, search `from:username filter:replies` and open the Latest tab.** Add `-to:username` to drop their replies inside their own threads, which leaves only their replies to other accounts. You can also open the Replies tab on their profile.

Replies show how an account talks to customers, peers and critics. This guide is part of [how to search Twitter replies](/blog/twitter-search/search-twitter-replies/). Every operator this guide uses is listed in the [Twitter advanced search operators](/blog/twitter-search/advanced-search-operators/) reference.

## How Do You See Someone’s Replies on X?

**You see someone’s replies either on the Replies tab of their profile, or by searching `from:username filter:replies`, which lets you add keywords and dates.** Listed below are the 3 steps for the search method.

1.  **Type** `from:username filter:replies -to:username`.
2.  **Press** Enter.
3.  **Open** **Latest** for every reply in time order.

`filter:replies` keeps only replies, and `-to:username` removes the replies the account wrote in its own threads ([twitter-advanced-search reference](https://github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search)).

## Examples: Replies by a Specific User

**These searches narrow one account’s replies to the ones you need.** Replace the handles, words and dates.

| Goal | Query |
| --- | --- |
| All their replies to others | from:username filter:replies -to:username |
| Their replies to one account | from:username to:otheraccount |
| Their replies about a topic | from:username filter:replies refund |
| Their replies in a date range | from:username filter:replies since:2026-01-01 until:2026-02-01 |
| Their most liked replies | from:username filter:replies min_faves:100 |
| Their self-replies in threads | from:username filter:self_threads |
| Their original posts, no replies | from:username -filter:replies |

The combinations with dates are covered in [how to search someone’s tweets by date](/blog/twitter-search/someones-tweets-by-date/).

## How Do You Read a Conversation Between Two Accounts?

**To read both sides of a public conversation between two accounts, search `(from:user1 to:user2) OR (from:user2 to:user1)`.** Open Latest and read from the bottom up for time order. The account operators are compared in [from: vs to: vs @username on X search](/blog/twitter-search/from-to-mention-operators/).

## Why Are Some Replies Missing?

**Some of a user’s replies are missing when they replied to a protected account, when the parent post was deleted, or when X filtered the reply from search.** Protected and suspended accounts are not indexed (twitter-advanced-search reference). The profile’s Replies tab shows replies in time order and can fill gaps.

## How to Export Someone’s Replies With apidojo

**apidojo’s [Tweet Scraper V2](https://apify.com/apidojo/tweet-scraper) on Apify collects an account’s replies from the same query, with `isReply` set on each result, so you can analyse how an account responds.** Put the query in `searchTerms` (Apify).

```
{
  "searchTerms": ["from:brand filter:replies -to:brand"],
  "sort": "Latest"
}
```

## Questions people ask

### Can you see replies someone deleted?

No, deleted replies leave X and its search index.

### Can you see replies by a protected account?

Only if the account has approved you as a follower.

### Does the Replies tab show everything?

It shows the account's replies in time order, but search is faster for finding one by keyword or date.
