Reports Emerge of Dislike Button Feature on X as Some Users Gain Early Access

Last month, rumours began circulating that X might soon introduce a dislike button featuring a broken heart icon. This new feature was said to function similarly to the downvote options seen on platforms like Quora or Reddit. For those who aren’t aware, this feature was already being tested in 2021, long before Elon’s acquisition.

After a month of silence, it now appears that the dislike button is already being rolled out to some users. According to a post by @cb_doge on X, the feature has been made available to select users. However, it remains unclear whether the rollout will begin with the US audience or if it will be launched globally from the start.

Recently, X introduced the passkey feature for Android users. If you recall, when the passkey feature on X was first launched on iOS, it was initially available to users in the US before being rolled out globally. A similar pattern could occur here, but we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from X or Elon, which could happen soon.
