Twitter is testing design which will let you react to tweets with photo or video, just like TikTok

Twitter is working on a new feature that will let users react to tweets via video or photos instead of the old-fashioned text way.

The micro-blogging platform has started testing a new tool called 'quote tweet with reaction' which will let user embed a tweet copy into a photo or video instead of a word text.

The tech giant is currently testing the feature with some iOS users. The feature is similar to TikTok's video replies, which Instagram's Reels feature also shares similarity with.


The test is currently limited to iOS users. The micro-blogging is calling the new feature 'Tweet Takes', which is yet to reach its final stage.

According to reports, with this new feature, Twitter wants to give users more freedom to express themselves in more creative ways.

"Testing on iOS: when you tap the Retweet icon, choose 'Quote Tweet with reaction' to create and customise your very own Tweet Take a reaction video (or photo) with the Tweet embedded," the company said in a tweet late on Thursday.


Twitter has been actively testing new features for its platform.

Last month, Meta-owned Instagram had launched a similar feature which lets people reply to comments on posts through Reels.

Twitter in December 2020 had added the ability to embed a tweet in a Snapchat message or story.
