Twitter is rolling out emoji reactions for direct messages

Probably not its highest priority

In a nutshell: There are plenty of areas where Twitter needs fixing, but the latest feature being added isn't what you'd call a high priority. The platform is rolling out support for users to add Facebook/iMessage-like reactions to direct messages.

Research engineer Jane Manchun Wong, who is prolific when it comes to revealing social media features before their launch, discovered that Twitter was testing DM reactions last year, and now it's coming to all users on the web, iOS, and Android.

The reactions are similar to what you'd find on Facebook, with laughing, shocked, sad, heart, and thumbs-up options. There's also a flame emoji and, instead of an angry face, Twitter has included a thumbs down.

Twitter's Help Center site explains that the emoji reactions can easily be added to a Direct Message -both text and media attachments. "To add a reaction, 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."
