Reaction Emojis
These are like the reaction features we have become so accustomed to on Facebook but Twitter is adding their own little twist. The feature has launched with seven emoji, which for those keeping score is one more than Facebook currently supports. The emojis include:
The typical:
- The thumbs up
- laughing face
- heart
- sad crying face emojis
They are also trying out some new ideas like:
- The fire emoji, to let you show your appreciation for sick burns.
- Thumbs down emoji, for when you need to tell someone how terrible their dad jokes were.
To add an emoji reaction to a Direct Message
It’s quick and easy to add Twitter Emoji reactions to a Direct Message –– both text and media attachments. To add a reaction; Just hover over the message and click the reaction button (heart and plus icon), or double tap on the message and pick an emoji from the pop-up.
