Twitter may be working on the Tweet Reaction Picker, New Privacy Features to Control Unwanted Attention

Twitter may also be working on a tweet responder that will allow users to respond by selecting emoji. Tweet responses have been temporarily tested now and will work just like Facebook emoji responses.

From now on, it is not clear when this feature will be released to the public. Additionally, Twitter is also exploring new privacy features that will end up being unwanted attention.

These features are in the new category and the team on Twitter is looking for a response.

Starting with a tweet response, retrospective engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) shared a screenshot on Twitter showing a response picker with different emoji to choose from.

Looks like there are five emojis being displayed at once and selecting one to show what it shows. Wong also shared last month five responsive users who will be able to choose from among them including ‘Like,’ ‘Cheer,’ ‘Hmm,’ ‘Sad,’ and ‘Haha,’ featured with their animated emoji.

The ‘Hmm’ and ‘Haha’ response emoji are the ones users will be familiar with, but the other three are the hearts that suggest that these are substitutes for now.

Earlier this month, Wong noticed that Twitter was testing a tweet reaction summary that would show the total response rate in a tweet before a different response.

In addition, Twitter’s privacy engineer, Dominic Camozzi, posted a series of tweets on June 15 outlining the new privacy features the communications officer is working on.

This feature allows users to ‘speak for themselves’ from a specific tweet. Camozzi says these are the first ideas that aim to help users control unwanted attention on Twitter.

The Unmention Yourself option, as shown in one of the tweets by Camozzi, is located in a three-dot menu next to the tweet that allows users to isolate themselves from the tweet or chat and this will remove their profile link to that tweet.

In addition, another feature shared by Camozzi features a special notification that indicates when a person does not directly follow the tags or comments.

If you ‘set yourself up,’ the author of Tweet will not be able to say it again.

There is also a feature that will prevent certain accounts or all accounts from reporting you for one day, three days, or seven days.
