Twitter is bringing colour to private conversations with the addition of reaction emojis.
Users can choose from seven emotions, which are very similar to Facebook’s feature on Messenger.
They range from emojis depicting laughter, shock and sadness to a heart, a flame, a thumbs up and a thumbs down.
