Twitter could get a facelift very soon!
In recent months, Twitter has been working on a number of new features – from monetized “Spaces” to a paid model called “Twitter Blue” in the pipeline, the company leaves no arena untouched.
“Reactions” are now making their way to the social networking platform.
According to developer Nima Owji, who extrapolated the results of a regular researcher on Twitterverse – Jane Manchun Wong – the new features will transform the way we consume tweets.
In May, several portals reported that Twitter was working on “reactions” similar to the way people react to content on iMessage and Facebook.
What are Twitter reactions?
The reactions on Twitter should represent different moods – from “sad”, “cheering”, “hmm” to “haha”! Only “hmm” and “haha” were finished in May.
Owji has now discovered all the reactions. As with Facebook and other portals that offer “reactions”, the user would have to hold down the Like button for a while to react.

The feature is ready to use, but there is still no clarity on when it will be rolled out to the masses.
Developers and Twitter enthusiasts like Nima Owji and Jane Manchun Wong are using reverse engineering to discover a number of upcoming features on Twitter every now and then.
Twitter’s bunch of new features
The company is expected to roll out a wide variety of features that could transform how users interact with Twitter.
Spaces, a call-driven feature, now enables users to make money. Twitter Blue is a paid Twitter model that allows users to escape ads and access a range of premium features.
Twitter is also working on a three-step flagging mechanism to combat misinformation on the platform. “Get the Latest”, “Stay Informed” and “Misleading” are the labels that developers and enthusiasts are now familiar with.

These features may or may not be introduced soon. But the clear indication is that Twitter is rethinking how users interact with its platform.
