The microblogging site Twitter is working on new upvote and downvote reactions for tweets to accompany the usual options to retweet and reply.
Twitter says it is testing the feature for a small group of users on iOS, and it’s already been spotted according to multiple tweets from users that are part of the test group.
Some of you on iOS may see different options to up or down vote on replies. We're testing this to understand the types of replies you find relevant in a convo, so we can work on ways to show more of them.
