How to see who retweeted your tweets / X posts
If you're curious about who has retweeted your tweets, Twitter makes it easy to see this information directly within the app. Simply go to the specific tweet you’re interested in and click on the "Retweets" count located beneath the tweet. This will bring up a list of all the users who have retweeted your content. However, due to privacy settings, you may not always see every user who retweeted your tweet if their profiles are set to private.
If you want to see the full list of retweeters and export them, you have to use Circleboom. Here are the necessary steps:
