Twitter's X Takes Drastic Measures: Removing Classic Buttons and Article Headlines
X owner Elon Musk is teasing the removal of Twitter's classic "retweet" and "like" buttons from users' main timelines. Musk suggested that the buttons may be replaced by gestures such as double-tapping or swiping. X designer Andrea Conway confirmed that the removal of the buttons and analytics numbers is in the works, with the plan to replace them with gestural interactions. However, concerns have been raised about the usability of gestures on non-touch screen devices.
