Native Twitter Emojis 🐦

Replace Twitter/X's Twemoji images with your operating system's native emoji using a tiny userscript.

This userscript swaps emoji image elements for their emoji character (from the alt text) and applies a native emoji font stack so your OS renders them natively.

Installation 🚀

Recommended: install with a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, or Greasemonkey.

1. Install a userscript manager in your browser (Tampermonkey is popular).

2. Install the userscript directly from the raw GitHub URL:

   • https://github.com/highesttt/NativeTwitterEmojis/raw/main/twitteremojis.user.js

Manual install options:

1. Download twitteremojis.user.js from this repository and add it to your userscript manager.
2. Paste the script into a browser extension that supports custom scripts.

Tips:

• Make sure the userscript is enabled for https://twitter.com/* and https://*.twitter.com/* (or https://x.com/* depending on your hostname).
• If something looks off, try disabling other styling/user scripts that also touch emoji or fonts.
• Make sure developer options are turned on inside your browser!

Contributions are welcome — small fixes, edge-case handling, and tests are all appreciated.
