If youβve ever scrolled through your X timeline and thought, βWaitβ¦ didnβt I just see this post?β β youβre not crazy. For years, users have been dealing with an annoying glitch that made posts show up more than once. Now, Nikita Bier, Xβs Head of Product, says the bug has finally been squashed.
βAfter many years, we finally fixed a bug on Android where you would see the same post multiple times. Thank you for your attention to this matter,β Nikita posted yesterday. A simple message, but for Android users, itβs huge.
But hereβs where it gets interesting: last month, we reported on another glitch where replies themselves were duplicating (yes, whole conversations echoing back at you). Now, the big question is does Nikitaβs fix also cover this replies issue?
Here’s a screenshot showing duplicate replies on X for Android app.

I want to believe it does. After all, users have been lumping both bugs into the same βduplicate contentβ headache. Personally, Iβve mostly dealt with the duplicate replies side of things, and as of this week, I still catch it now and then. Maybe the fix is rolling out gradually, much like the earlier auto-refresh bugfix that hit iOS users in phases.

And speaking of Android, Nikita has also teased that more quality-of-life improvements are coming our way. No dates yet, but X isnβt just patching up bugs. The company is rebuilding the entire Android app from the ground up. A whole new team is being hired to work on this massive overhaul.
So, if youβre still spotting duplicate replies or havenβt noticed a change yet, donβt panic. A smoother, cleaner, less buggy X experience is (hopefully) on the horizon.
