**To find replies sent to a user on X, search `to:username` and open the Latest tab; add `-from:username` to remove the account’s own replies inside its threads.** For example, `to:NASA -from:NASA` returns replies other people sent to NASA. Add a keyword to find replies about one subject.

Replies sent to an account are where customer questions, complaints and feedback collect. 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 Replies to Someone on X?

**You see replies to someone by searching `to:` with their handle, or by entering it in the To these accounts field of the Advanced search form.** X’s advanced search supports posts sent in reply to a specific account ([X Help Center](https://help.x.com/en/using-x/x-advanced-search)). Listed below are the 3 steps.

1.  **Type** `to:username -from:username`.
2.  **Press** Enter.
3.  **Open** **Latest** for every reply, newest first.

## Examples: Replies Sent to a User

**These searches narrow the replies an account receives to the ones you need.** Replace the handle, words and dates ([twitter-advanced-search reference](https://github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search)).

| Goal | Query |
| --- | --- |
| All replies from others | to:brand -from:brand |
| Replies about a problem | to:brand (refund OR broken OR "doesn't work") |
| Questions sent to the account | to:brand ? |
| Replies in a date range | to:brand since:2026-01-01 until:2026-02-01 |
| Popular replies | to:brand min_faves:50 |
| Replies from verified accounts | to:brand filter:verified |
| Replies from one person | from:customer to:brand |
| Replies with images | to:brand filter:images |

## What Is the Difference Between to: and @username?

**`to:username` returns only replies addressed to the account, while `@username` returns every post that mentions it, replies included.** Use `to:` for support inboxes and `@username` for brand monitoring. The comparison is in [from: vs to: vs @username on X search](/blog/twitter-search/from-to-mention-operators/), and mention search in [how to search tweets mentioning a user](/blog/twitter-search/tweets-mentioning-user/).

## How Do You Find Replies to One Specific Post?

**For replies to one post rather than to an account, search `conversation_id:` with the post’s ID.** It returns every reply in that thread at every level (twitter-advanced-search reference). The method is in [how to search Twitter replies](/blog/twitter-search/search-twitter-replies/).

## How to Collect Replies Sent to an Account With apidojo

**apidojo’s [Tweet Scraper V2](https://apify.com/apidojo/tweet-scraper) on Apify collects every reply sent to an account, and its `inReplyTo` input applies the `to:` filter for you.** The results include the reply text, author and engagement, ready for a support or feedback review (Apify).

```
{
  "searchTerms": ["to:brand -from:brand since:2026-09-01"],
  "sort": "Latest"
}
```

No, write the handle without it: `to:NASA`.

### Can you see replies to a user from people you follow?

Yes, add `filter:follows`: `to:username filter:follows`.
