X Platform Tests Downvote Feature Again with New Broken Heart Icon

TapTechNews July 12th news, according to foreign media TechCrunch, two X platform users found that the social platform has once again tested the Downvote function.

According to TapTechNews report in 2021, the predecessor of X platform, Twitter, announced on July 22nd of that year that it would test the tweet opposition button on the App side of the Apple iOS system. The styles of the opposition icons shown at that time included downward arrows, thumbs down, etc.

User Aaron found that X platform plans to use the broken heart icon corresponding to the Like heart icon to achieve this function this time.

User P4mui noticed that this function is currently only open for replies and cannot downvote the original post.

Foreign media believe that for now, the opposition function of X platform will be used for reply sorting, sinking the replies with more opposition to the later position in the discussion thread.

After Musk took over X, he has made a large-scale adjustment to the like system of this social platform in June this year, setting the like function as private, so that public figures will not be attacked because of accidental or intentional likes.
