What do they mean and why do we use them? Here&#8217;s a look. In addition to Emojis, Twitter has also added a bookmarks icon and a&#8217;message&#8217; feature. If you&#8217;re looking for some ways to use Twitter, these new features may be worth a try.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messages\"><\/span>Messages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The symbol that&#8217;s located under a tweet can mean several things. It can mean to reply to a tweet, copy the URL to your clipboard, or add a tweet to your bookmarks. This is also where you can go to view statistics about your account. Here you can see what your most popular tweets are. In addition to the traditional Tweets symbol, the new Twitter app offers three additional symbols.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bookmarks\"><\/span>Bookmarks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The introduction of Bookmarks for the popular social media site is a welcome change. Bookmarking allows you to store tweets and other content for later reference. Whether it is articles you&#8217;d like to read or opinions from Twitter&#8217;s community, you can save it to read later. Bookmarks are private, so you can view them only after you&#8217;ve saved them. There are no stats yet on the popularity of Bookmarks on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emojis\"><\/span>Emojis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In our study, we used emojis to determine the gender-based usage of emojis on Twitter. We analyzed the first 20 threads containing emojis from each gender. We found that males and females use emojis more often than their corresponding counterparts. We also identified the emojis users use to express various emotions. We found that more females use emojis to express emotions like love, pleading, sadness, and encouragement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bell_icon\"><\/span>Bell icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering &#8220;What is the bell icon on Twitter?&#8221; you&#8217;re not alone. It&#8217;s an easy way to subscribe to replies from people you follow. The bell icon is displayed in the top-right corner of your screen when you&#8217;re viewing a tweet. If you want to subscribe to replies from specific people, simply tap on the bell icon while viewing a tweet. Then, you&#8217;ll see three options: Subscribe to the top replies, subscribe to new tweets, and disable reply notifications.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upvote\"><\/span>Upvote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Facebook is the fastest-growing social network, Twitter is still a bit slow. Twitter recently announced radical changes to how you can reply to tweets. New signals highlight replies from the original tweeter and others connected to them. Color-coding is gone, and Twitter uses new symbols. While these are less intrusive, they still provide the same context. For example, the new symbol for &#8220;follow&#8221; highlights your follower&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downvote\"><\/span>Downvote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Downvoting was introduced to Twitter a few months ago, and it was designed to help users flag content they found offensive or irrelevant. Previously, downvoting was reserved for replies, not for the original tweet. This method would be used in long conversations threads, but would be useless if you want to personalise your main feed. On Twitter, it&#8217;s important to keep content short and to the point.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sparkly_star\"><\/span>Sparkly star<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to navigate through the Twitter interface. One way is to simply click on the three-star icon in the top-right corner of the Twitter interface. It&#8217;s here where you can switch between the various timeline views. If you&#8217;re on the home screen, you can use the Home icon to return to your feed or home screen. Alternatively, you can click on the three-star icon to switch to the search field.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"456\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WpyAan-9aCE\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are the New Symbols on Twitter?
