Twitter to soon launch Facebook-like emoji reactions for Tweets

Twitter is working on adding emoji reactions to tweets, similar to the ones available on Facebook.

Twitter could include emoji reactions such as Likes, Cheer, Hmm, Sad, and Haha. The emoji reactions are currently under development, and some reactions in the screenshot, especially Cheer and Sad were shown to be using a placeholder Heart emoji.

The feature was first spotted by reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane), who posted a screenshot on Twitter. The emojis look similar to the ones made available by Facebook.

Twitter may also include Hmm (makes-you-think) and Cheer emoji reaction. There seems to be no Angry emoji reaction coming to Twitter.

Through a survey it conducted back in March 2021, Twitter had earlier provided a preview of these emoji reactions.
