Twitter is one of the most widely used social networks in the world. Created by Jack Dorsey, the platform is characterized by being a “clean” space, without a lot of distractors or superfluous features.
However, the social network could change a bit soon. Indeed, according to information now revealed, Twitter may copy Facebook and add a reaction system to its publications.
Currently, the Internet has several social networks available to the user. Each of them has its specific audience, functionalities and defined functions.
However, there are several platforms that stand out above the rest, and one of them is Twitter. And it looks like, soon, we could have more interesting features on this social network in a microblogging format.
Twitter can include reactions to your posts, like on Facebook
Jane Manchun Wong is a programmer from Hong Kong known for revealing news on social media. And recently, Wong posted on his Twitter account that this social network was going to test a system of reactions to posts, similar to what is already happening on Facebook.
According to Jane's information, Twitter's reactions will then be for "Like", "Cheer", "Hmm", "Sad" and "Haha". In addition, the programmer also left a leak in the WIP (work in progress), or the process in which the testing of this possible new functionality is found.
Twitter is working on seeing reactions to tweets:
"I like", "Cheer", "Hmm", "Sad", "Haha"
The icons for the Cheer and Sad reactions are WIP and are represented as a generic heart at the moment https://t.co/ZCBhH8z7JR pic.twitter.com/dGqq1CzIis

For now, Twitter has yet to release official information on this new feature which could be in testing for a few weeks. And, if he has to go ahead, there is also no prediction of when that may happen.
But this is no longer the first time that Wong has offered such a possibility for this social network. We still have to wait for more details to see if, in fact, we will soon be able to react in various ways to the tweets.
