Back in 2016, and after the launch of iOS 10, Apple introduced a fair amount of news for its iMessage platform. Among them, there was a function called TapBack that allows users of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch reactions in the form of stickers or emojis in received messages.
To do this, all you have to do is keep your finger pressed on the message (or twice tap) and select the icon. Available icons are heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, laughter, branding and question mark.
Well, now Twitter is inspired by these things that work and create their own Direct Messages

So, the iMessage reaction and now Twitter is in high demand, because it allows for more giveaways flexibility and vitality in conversation
Also, you will not always see someone's face when you send a message over the Internet, so this reaction helps you know how it goes, because it is also difficult and responsive.
Twitter started testing this functionality in the beta phase last year. But now work is already coming to the web, iOS and Android.
