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.
The API is probably not providing everything Blorp needs to make this really sing. I’ll add that to the list now that Blorp has started making a move towards reaction support.
Anything specific that you are going to add regarding emoji reactions? I assumed emojis were more of a UI problem. I really want expanded feed support, which I think is more blocked by the API than emojis.
