Classic Twitter Post Generator (2022 Look)

Before July 2023 a tweet page looked different: bigger text, an app label like "Twitter for iPhone" after the date, and a separate row counting Retweets, Quote Tweets and Likes. This preset draws that version.

Date and numbers

Type 1284, 1,284 or 12.5K. Counts are shortened the way X does it (1.2K, 3.4M) unless you choose exact numbers.

Poll

X polls allow 2 to 4 choices of up to 25 characters. Percentages are rounded so they add up to 100.

Thread and replies

Add posts under the main one. Thread posts reuse your profile and connect with a line in the Timeline layout; replies come from other (fictional) accounts.

    What changed between classic Twitter and X?

    The names, the counts and the layout of the opened post; most of the timeline row stayed similar.

    How do I date a classic mockup correctly?

    Pick a date before December 2022 for the app label, and set views to 0 for anything before that month.

    App labels (Twitter for iPhone, Twitter Web App, TweetDeck) disappeared from tweets in December 2022, the same month public view counts arrived. The blue checkmark meant "notable account" until late 2022, then shifted to paid Twitter Blue. A tweet dated 2019 with a view count and a paid-style checkmark mixes eras; fine for fun, wrong for a history lesson.

    Can I use the classic layout for a timeline row?

    The timeline row layout is shared between eras, because Twitter's feed row barely changed; use it with Classic settings like the app label off.

    For an old-style feed, choose Timeline row, set Number style to exact and leave views at 0.

    Questions people ask

    When did the old Twitter look end?

    Twitter began renaming itself X in July 2023: the bird logo was replaced, tweets became posts and retweets became reposts. The app labels such as Twitter for iPhone had already been removed from tweets in December 2022.

    Why does the classic layout have a views count option?

    Twitter added public view counts in December 2022, so late-2022 tweets show them. Set views to 0 to hide it for older dates.

    Is the bird logo the official one?

    No. The generator draws its own simple bird shape for the corner logo, so the mockup reads as old Twitter without copying the trademarked logo file.
