A few months ago, we already heard about Twitter trying out adding emoji reactions to tweets. Now, app researcher Jane Manchun Wong is giving another look at potential emoji reactions. She shows reactions like "Likes," "Cheer," "Hmm," "Sad," and "Haha." Some of them only have placeholder emojis. 

As The Verge noted, Twitter added "makes you think" and cheer options but leaves out Facebook's "angry" expression. When Twitter was asked to comment about this feature, it said the same thing as before. According to the company, it is "always exploring additional ways for people to express themselves in conversations."
