Twitter has been working on several new features recently, and we have covered some of them here in the last few weeks. Now the social network is considering implementing emoji reactions for other tweets, just as Facebook does for posts.
Twitter supports all standard emojis, and these can be inserted via emoji keyboard or picker. Alternatively emojis can be copy and pasted by choosing from the emojis on this page. Twemoji is an open source emoji project, created and owned by Twitter. You can add emoji to the name displayed on your Twitter account by editing your profile and selecting the characters you wish to use. Start by opening the Twitter app on your Android or iOS device.
As noted by The Verge, Twitter has been sending out a survey to a small number of users in which the company shows a new reaction system that might be added to the social network. The design is similar to Facebook’s reactions, which let users react to a post with an emoji — including happy, sad, and angry faces.
The Twitter emoji showed global recognition and lent greater credibility to the youth movement, said prominent Thai activist Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal, one of the alliance's leading voices.
In this survey, Twitter shows some mockups of this new reaction system and asks users which one they prefer. In one of the images, there are the following reactions: Like, Funny, Interesting, Sad, Awesome, Support, and Angry. In another concept, the Awesome reaction uses a fire emoji instead of a surprised face, while the Support reaction shows raised hands instead of a hugging emoji.
Twitter is also looking for a way to let users make it clear that they dislike a tweet, while also being concerned about how users will feel about this feature. In another question in the survey, the company asks how the user would react to receiving a downvote or dislike on Twitter. One of the answers available is “I may hesitate to Tweet in the future for fear of receiving negative reactions.”
It’s worth noting that this hasn’t been implemented on Twitter so far, and it’s unclear whether the company will actually add this to the social network, which is why they’re asking users what they think about the feature.
