You'll be glad to hear that SMS already doesn't have reactions
- dirtyhippiefree 2y agoSMS is being replaced with RCS, which does have reactions…even Apple is adding RCS… Welcome to the future.
- JohnFen 2y agoRCS is already here on Android, but I keep it disabled in order to avoid read receipts and typing indicators.
- bradboimler 2y agoYou can disable read receipts and typing indicators without disabling RCS
- JohnFen 2y agoYou can? That didn't used to be the case on my phone at all. Glad to hear they changed that.
- bradboimler 2y agoI use Google Messages. I assumed that was what you were using too. Messages settings - RCS chats - Send read receipts and Show typing indicators.

- JohnFen 2y agoIf you're texting with an iOS user and they use a reaction, Apple "helpfully" forwards the reaction as text. Which is OK. What I don't like is that it also quotes the complete text that the person reacted to.
- isatty 2y agoYou can like a message a page up, for example, and you’ll get a random “user liked your message” and be completely lost.
- JohnFen 2y agoTrue. There's no solution to this that appeals to everyone. Personally, it wouldn't bother me at all to not know which message got "liked" (because "liking" something doesn't really say anything that important), but I can see how it could be important to others.
- X-Istence 2y agoAndroid does this too. I am in several group chat's with Android users and their reactions are also sent the same way.
- callalex 2y agoLiked “You'll be glad to hear that SMS already doesn't have reactions”. It’s really the most clunky backfill that Apple chose, I suspect on purpose.
