There would be new reactions such as encouraging and thinking, and it seems that there would be no expression of anger, something that users already tend to reflect in their responses on this social network.
This addition is not a surprise because a few months ago Twitter asked users through a survey the hypothetical presence of reactions in the form of emojis. Regarding this leak, Twitter has pointed out to the medium Theverge, what “are always exploring additional ways for people to express themselves in conversations”.
