Now, the US-based social media service provider is all set to bring visually appealing reaction features to Twitter.

A renowned tipster who goes by the moniker Nima Owji has claimed that Twitter will soon release an update, which will bring interactive emoji reactions to the user's tweet. For now, only the heart icon turns red when somebody likes the tweet.

Other emotional emojis are similar to what Facebook offers when the users react to a post on a friend's wall post.
