Twitter has introduced emoji reactions for direct messages, it announced in a tweet.
The new feature includes seven reactions similar to the ones available in Facebook Messenger and Apple’s iMessage. The emoji reactions are ready to use in direct messages on the Twitter web, iOS, and Android apps.
To add an emoji reaction, hover over the message and click/tap on the heart button which Twitter calls a ‘reaction button’. You can also double-tap on the message and select an emoji reaction after the pop-up.

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.
You can undo a reaction at any time and it will be removed from the message for all participants. By clicking on it a new pop-up window will load at the bottom which will allow you to ‘undo’ the reaction.

Older versions of the Twitter for iOS or Android app will see reactions displayed as text-based messages, says Twitter.
