Twitter has been reportedly working on a Facebook-like tweet reactions view.
Now, researcher <https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1398359547731841024>
Jane Manchun Wong was able to give us a glimpse of what the company has been
preparing.
According to Wong, alongside the Like button, Twitter is also working on
Cheer, Hmm, Sad, and Haha reactions. Its still unclear when the
platform is going to release this feature and how its going to be
implemented.
One of the concerns is about using these reactions to spread hate on the
platform since for now, its only possible to retweet and like a tweet.
Currently, only Hmm and Haha reactions have a proper emoji. Cheer and
Sad have the same generic heart emoji of the Like button.
As reported by Wong, its been at least a
<https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1392623330264375297> couple of weeks
since Twitter preeminently started to work on this feature. At that time,
she didnt share how the reactions were going to look.
In the past few months, Wong broke Twitter news regarding its verification
program, Tip Jar, Blue paid subscription, and more.
The platform is introducing almost weekly some additional features. Last
week, for example, the company
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/21/twitter-announces-ticketed-spaces-will-roll-
out-for-us-users-soon/> unveiled its Ticketed Spaces feature, which lets
creators charge people to participate in a Spaces.
This week, Twitter Spaces also become available on the desktop and mobile
web pages. With that, more users can participate in this Clubhouse-like
feature without using their phone.
One downside of these many new features is that after one week of accepting
verification requests, the platform
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/28/twitter-verification-program-paused/> has
now closed it again due to increased demand for a blue badge. The company is
also expected to launch its subscription service soon,
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/27/twitter-confirms-blue-paid-subscription-with
-color-themes-and-alternative-icons-in-ios-app/> as its already listed on
the App Store as having a $2.99/month in-app purchase.
