Twitter is a platform where you see a lot of hot takes that you'd ideally wouldn't want to react to with a 'like'. Well, taking a page out of Facebook's notebook, Twitter could be thinking about adding support for emoji reactions very soon.

Emoji reactions have been extremely popular since its introduction on Facebook and the feature is fairly self-explanatory too. Reverse engineering pro and app analyst Jane Manchun Wong has done what she does best and has tweeted out a picture of how the upcoming feature is supposedly going to look like on Twitter.

 

Some of the reactions we can expect Twitter to add include — Like, Cheer, Hmm, Sad and Haha, allowing everyone a wider range of quick reactions to the tweets showing up on your timeline. Now, we've heard murmurs of Twitter working on adding quick emoji reactions before so the news of this feature being tested isn't completely out of the blue. But things aren't at a stage where the feature is almost ready for a public launch either.

As noted by Wong in her tweet, some of the reactions mentioned aren't mapped correctly to its corresponding emoji yet which goes to show that the feature is still very much in its test phase for now.

Emoji reactions aside, Twitter's been very busy lately with regards to new feature additions. We haven't heard too much about it yet but the social media platform recently confirmed its subscription service, dubbed Twitter Blue, that will give paying customers some exclusive features.

There's also been talk suggesting that TweetDeck — a powerful real-time tweet tracking and organising tool which was launched back in 2008 and is now owned by Twitter — could soon go under Twitter Blue paywall too.

None of this is official though and when Twitter does have something official to say about all of this, do expect to see a whole bag full of features being brought to the fore under the subscription plan which starts a $2.99 a month.
