Cover card reading 'How to Find Replies by a Specific User on X'

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. Every operator this guide uses is listed in the Twitter 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).

Examples: Replies by a Specific User

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

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.

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.

Questions people ask

Can you see replies someone deleted?

No, deleted replies leave X and its search index.

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.
