Aaron Perris, software engineer and writer for MacRumors, recently posted on X that he discovered a String on the X app’s iOS version that references the Downvote function in the app, along with an svg logo icon in the shape of a broken heart.
Twitter buzzed with news that Musk had previously tested Upvote and Downvote buttons similar to Reddit back in the day, but this time around, it seems there may only be a Downvote button, which could potentially help hide posts or replies with a high number of Downvotes from appearing on feeds and decrease engagement from these posts.

TLDR: X is working on reintroducing the Downvote button to its iOS app.
