Twitter changes star icon to a heart called “Likes”

Twitter has announced that it has changed its “Favorite” star icon to a heart called “Likes”.

According to Twitter, the star “could be confusing, especially to newcomers.” The company thinks that replacing it with “Likes” is more appropriate as “you might like a lot of things, but not everything can be your favorite.”

As for why the heart icon, Twitter says that it is more expressive and is a universal symbol that resonates across languages, cultures, and time zones.

The new hearts icon has already rolled out on Twitter for iOS and Android, twitter.com, TweetDeck, Twitter for Windows 10, Vine Android app, and Vine website. It will soon rollout to Vine for iOS and Twitter for Mac.
