Twitter is testing upvote and downvote buttons

Twitter is now testing a new feature that will enable users to upvote and downvote replies to tweets. Twitter has said it still doesn’t have a dislike button.

Currently under testing with a select group of iOS users, the feature is available in a variety of styles (up and down arrows, a heart icon and a down arrow, and thumb up and down icons).
As Twitter posted on Thursday, some of you on iOS may see different options to vote up or down vote on answers. We’re testing this to see if you understand the types of relevant answers in a convo, so we can work on ways to show more of them.

Company informed that, your downvote is not public, whereas your upvote will be shown as like.
According to the micro-blogging website, the experiment is currently a test for research and there is no dislike button.

Your downvotes are visible only to you and votes will not change the order of answers, the company said.

Twitter had previously experimented with ideas such as Reactions, which appeared to mimic the emoji reactions Facebook used for its posts.

In November of last year, Twitter product lead Kyvan Becpour said that the company was exploring a dislike button or a downvote capability.

The dislike button or the downvote ability is something we (dislike) are looking for, Bekpor said.
