What is CoTweet?
CoTweet is a new feature on Twitter that allows more than one user to author a single tweet.
The feature was announced on July 7, 2022 by the Twitter make team.
“Share a Tweet, share the cred. Now testing CoTweets, a new way to Tweet together,” Twitter Create wrote.
CoTweet is currently being tested on selected accounts on the social media platform.
Twitter’s Help Center states that the feature is currently being tested.
“We’re experimenting with CoTweet as a way for two authors to share the spotlight, showcase their contributions, and connect with more people.”
The website also states that because the feature is currently being tested, they may decide to disable the feature at the end of the trial period.
Removing the feature will also allow them to delete all CoTweets created during that time.
How can I get CoTweet?
For now, not all users can try out the CoTweet feature in the app.
Twitter states that only a select number of users are selected to test the CoTweets.
Currently, only select users in Canada, the United States, and Korea are selected to use CoTweet.
It is not stated how long the test period lasts.

To create a CoTweet, one user must use the tweet first on its own.
After they complete the content they want to post, they must send an invitation to the other user to be the co-author.
Once the user accepts the invitation, the CoTweet will be posted to both user accounts.
Followers on both accounts can then see the CoTweet, even if they follow only one of the co-authors.
Can you decline a CoTweet invite?
Like a Twitter user receives a CoTweet invitation and does not wish to participate, this is not mandatory.
CoTweet allows users to decline an invitation to a CoTweet request.
To decline an invitation to a CoTweet, users must access the invitation through their direct messages.
Once they open the invitation in their private messages, they can decline to select.
The person who created the CoTweet can also cancel an invitation that has already been sent.
Users can visit the Twitter Help Center online or tweet directly to Twitter Support (@Twittersupport).
