How to See Replies on X Without Logging In
Copy the post’s link.
Use Share, then Copy link on X, or copy the address from wherever the post was shared with you.
Paste it above and pick a sort.
Relevance roughly matches what X shows first. Recency shows the newest replies first. Likes shows the most-liked replies first.
Read, then download.
Scroll the replies with each author’s audience size, and save them as CSV if you need them in a spreadsheet.
Why You See Fewer Replies Than the Counter Says
The number under a post counts every reply ever made, but not all of them can be read:
- Hidden by the author: people can hide replies to their own posts.
- Held back by X: replies X considers low quality or likely spam sit behind “Show more replies” or are not listed at all.
- From protected accounts: only their approved followers can see them.
- Deleted replies: they stay in the count for a while after deletion.
The viewer shows the public replies X lists, and tells you the difference openly.

How can I see replies to a tweet without logging in?
Paste the post’s link above. The viewer lists its public replies without an X account, sorted by relevance, recency or likes.
Why can’t I see all the replies to a tweet?
Some replies are hidden by the author or held back by X as low quality, some come from protected accounts, and deleted replies can still be counted. The viewer lists every reply X makes public.
Can I export the replies to a tweet?
Yes. Download the listed replies as CSV. For every reply in a long thread, use a free API key; the estimate under the list shows the exact number of requests.
Can I see who liked a tweet?
No. Since June 2024, likes on X are private: only the post’s author can see who liked it. Replies, reposts and quotes remain public.
Does the author know I viewed the replies?
No. The viewer reads public data and never interacts with the post.
Is it free?
Yes. You get 5 free checks a day, which reset at 00:00 UTC, with no login.
