Twitter is testing a new feature where users will be able to upvote and downvote replies on tweets, saying this is still not a ‘dislike’ button.
Currently, under testing with a select group of iOS users, the feature is available in various styles (up and down arrows, a heart icon and a down arrow, and thumbs up and thumbs down icons).
Twitter posted on Thursday:
“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,”
The company informed
“Your downvotes aren’t public, while your upvotes will be shown as likes,”
According to the micro-blogging website, the experiment is just a test for research right now and is not a “dislike button”.
The company said:
“Your downvotes are visible to you only and votes won’t change the order of replies,”
