Until tomorrow, Apple was praised for Google adding iMessage reactions on Android. Rich Communication Services (RCS) already vails this, effectively Messages app is beginning to roll out the ability to leave reactions on SMS texts.
While the recipient interacts with the RCM chat, holding down on it lets you leave one of seven emojis. This includes thumbs up/down and a range of facial expressions. In mid-2020, Google rolled out this ability to send iMessage-like reactions on RCS. As of now, Google Messages append feature is enclosed under it. Now enable you to react to messages received from iPhones. In addition to the above info, it was also found that this feature is in its Beta stage of Google Messages.
If the SMS recipient is using Messages, the reaction just appears in the bottom-right corner. We’ve now received two reports of Google Messages users being able to react to SMS texts. Like with RCS, you just press to get the seven reactions, which are unchanged.
For recipients that are not using the Google Messages app, don’t have RCS chat enabled, or are on iOS. The fallback is a text message with the emoji from the sender followed by what’s being reacted to in quotes. Google’s fallback design is nicer and more visually distinctive than the iPhone equivalent. Which just sends a text description instead of an emoji.
This seemingly implies, Google Messages is in progress – as we enabled earlier this month – on the ability to react to an RCS chat with any emoji. These two things could be related.
Concluding segment…
The fact does not include any doubt that a feature that helps Message users be more expressive. That said, it might be annoying over time as Android users that converse with iPhone owners can show that something is true to it.
The source compile that I above asserted, might include some more facts and further updates, for that you need to stay tuned. Also, do dump us in the comment box below via @Samnew24…
