Direct messages on Twitter already offer emoji reactions, but it looks like the social network is considering adding this feature to tweets. The company has been sending out surveys to a few users asking them about their opinions on adding a new reaction system to Twitter. The approach is similar to what you can do on Facebook posts.

In the survey, Twitter shows mockups of the system and asks users what they would prefer. The reactions included are Like, Funny, Interesting, Sad, Awesome, Support, and Angry. The Awesome and Support responses have the option of either a surprised face or fire emoji for the former and the hugging emoji or raised hands for the latter.
