Twitter goes for emoji integration on web version as well
NEW DELHI : Those frustrated with the never-ending focus of social media sites on their mobile versions have something to smile about even as Twitter has enabled its web version to show emojis now.
These symbols can still be added only through mobile devices, but earlier they were not visible to web users. The web interface of Twitter can now display all major emojis, or emoticons as they’re also referred to. Moreover, some desktop apps are reportedly also able to show them currently.
There’s a small hitch though; despite them being visible in a certain tweet, if that tweet is to be embedded onto another website they again turn into the undefined squares which they earlier used to be.
