Twitter integrates reactions in direct messages

Twitter continues to introduce news in its application. A new function that is already being deployed on the social network is generating controversy, because many do not like anything. This is the reactions in direct messages, which is a function that seems to have been inspired by Facebook, where such a function was long ago made official.

It is not fully understood how useful this function is and if it really contributes something to the operation of the application. Since it is limited only to direct messages.

Reactions to messages

In this way, thanks to this function, when someone sends you a direct message on Twitter, you can give a reaction to that message using emojis. A function that is not finished seeing as something useful, because it really does not contribute anything to conversations. It doesn't make them better in any way. For this reason, this decision of the social network has been widely criticized.

The update has been made official, announced by the social network itself. It would not be unusual if this function is expanding and is not limited only to direct messages, following the trend of Facebook, where we can put a reaction to the publications.

So far this has not happened, but it would not be unusual for the social network to have plans to do so in the near future. For now, reactions are limited to direct messages on Twitter. We will be attentive to the way in which it is integrated into it in the future.
