Twitter fans can now show if they love a tweet with the new heart symbol.
The social network has just announced the changes on a blog post stating "We are changing our star icon for favourites to a heart and we’ll be calling them likes
Twitter says they are introducing the changes to "To make Twitter easier and more rewarding to use."
According to the popular service, some users found the star confusing and the firm's tests have shown people find the new heart much more intuative to use.
However, it seems not everyone is so keen on the new symbol.
Twitter is full of digruntled users unhappy with the cute new button.
One user wrote "No like this #hearts thing. There is a big jump in 'fav'ing something cause you think it's amusing and a 'heart' which implies you love it."
Whilst another unhappy fan tweeted "What's with the #hearts twitter? I just can't get on board. #bringbackthestars"
The new heart symbol is rolling out from today with web users already able to show their love for tweets.
Twitter says that hearts will also be appearing on iOS and Android, TweetDeck, Twitter for Windows 10, and on the Vine Android app and website.
Vine for iOS and Twitter for Mac will get the update in the coming days
