Google Messages app now lets you use any emoji for reactions
Last year, Google Messages get the ability to react to messages using an emoji. However, the reactions were limited to a few emojis and it was not enough. Now to meet users’ demand, Google is finally letting its Messages app users use any emoji for reactions.
The company first started testing the ability to react with any emoji on a text in November 2022. This feature was limited to beta testers of the application but now customers of the stable version of the Google Messages app can also use any emoji for messages reactions.

Message reactions are a convenient way to express your emotions or sentiments on a particular message. Presently, most messages application, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Instagram, and more, has this feature. So why should Googe Messages stay behind?
To use this feature, users need to long-pressing on an SMS text or RCS chat and tap the new ‘plus’ symbol at the end. Here you will see the emoji picker built-in to Messages. There is also a search field at the top and 10 categories below. The emoji sheet will expand, with recently used emojis at the top, as you scroll down.
