Twitter brings emoji reactions to Direct Messages. It looks similar to Facebook Messenger's emoji reactions. Instead of heart eyes or angry emojis on Facebook, Twitter replaced it with a heart and fire emojis. So, if you'd rather not type out your reactions, you can just use these emojis. Click on the icon next to the message you want to react to, or you can double-tap on the message to see the reactions. If you're using an older version of the app, the reaction will show up as a separate message.
