Therefore, if you want to pin someone else’s tweet on your profile, go to the tweet that your want to pin, tap on Quote Tweet, add content, and then click Tweet. The Quote Tweet will be added to your profile. Go ahead and pin it as described in the steps above. Unlike Instagram which allows you to pin three posts, Twitter allows you to pin only one tweet at a time.
