I did, in fact, start with the instructions from the admins.

But I've since learned that on an iPad, embedding only seems to work when viewing the tweet from the Twitter app. Only then does the small arrow appear in upper right corner. I can then click on "Share via" and finally I get the choice to copy link.

It doesn't work like that if viewing the tweet from the safari browser.

But I got it!

Would someone instruct on how to embed tweets from an iPad? [View all] SticksnStones Mar 2017 OP

Go to the upper right corner of the tweet and hold your finger down there applegrove Mar 2017 #1

There's a little down arrow that pops up to the right Rhiannon12866 Mar 2017 #4

Thanks...doesn't seem to occur on an iPad nt SticksnStones Mar 2017 #5

I was just assuming this would work the same as it does on my phone Rhiannon12866 Mar 2017 #6

Thanks...I'm usually pretty good at picking up techniques but I'm stumped by this one SticksnStones Mar 2017 #7

I'm guessing you already checked out the instructions from the admins: Rhiannon12866 Mar 2017 #8

My other suggestion is to post in Ask the Admins Rhiannon12866 Mar 2017 #9
