Twitter is reportedly getting ready to launch emoji reactions for tweets. Earlier reports suggested that Twitter is indeed working on emoji reactions but back then only two emoji reactions — 'hmm' and 'haha' — were uncovered. The social media platform's reactions to tweets will include 'like,' 'hmm,' 'haha,' 'cheer,' and 'sad,' as per a tipster. Twitter is also working on Fleets and Twitter Spaces rings for its Web app. Additionally, the social media platform is also working on a better way to search through the Direct Messages (DMs) on its platform.

Tipster Nima Owji (@nima_owji) report showed only two such emojis — a thinking face for 'hmm' and a laughing face for 'haha.' The rest of the three emojis had a heart as the placeholder emoji but that has changed now. 'Cheer' reaction shows a clapping hand emoji, while the 'sad' shows a sad face emoji. 'Like' reaction retains the heart emoji. Owji's tweets were first spotted by 9to5Mac.

It seems that not all s have received the new feature yet but looking at the development process, it can be expected that Twitter may roll out the feature soon. Once released, s may have to long-press on the react button to discover all emoji reactions, just like Facebook.
