The current way to add an emoji reaction on Android is the following:
- Click the three dots’ menu button
- Choose
React... - Choose
Other... - Tap the text field saying “Enter an emoji”
- Press the smiley button next to the space key.
- Find the desired emoji
- Tap on the emoji
This is quite a chore, actually!
Firstly, I’d request for at least the top5 emojis used by me to show right after I’ve tapped React.... Preferably 10.
Secondly, if the “Enter an emoji” text field was active immediately, it would reduce one click from the process even if I’m using some emoji I use less often.
PieFed does this
Its pretty good
That one doesn’t have all of the reactions I need, so I often need to fire up Blorp, find the conversation and do the 7-step process.
But yeah, the emoji button on PieFed is better than Blorp’s menu –> React…
100% want to make this menu better. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. Other examples (e.g. PieFed official ui or other) are super helpful
