The users of the microblogging app can add emoji reactions to Direct Messages containing either text or media attachments and an emoji reaction can be undone at any time.
Whenever you have an emoji reaction, you will get a notification, just like when you sent an actual reply.
People using an older version of the micro-blogging app that doesn’t support message reactions will see reactions displayed as text-based messages.
