At long last, when you send an emoji reaction from an Android device to an iPhone, it shows up like it's supposed to.
Apple has taken yet another step in busting down barriers between green and blue bubbles. As spotted by The Verge this week, reactions sent by Android devices to iPhones now appear on top of the message as intended. As The Verge notes, an Android user reacting to a message sent from an iOS device previously resulted in a separate message on a new line with the emoji used and the content of the original message.
To test the change, the publication sent a series of text messages and emoji reactions between iPhones running iOS 18.1 and multiple Android phones. In either direction, the emoji reactions showed up as they should—in line with the original message. Apple began supporting Google's Rich Communication Services standard in iOS 18, but the interoperability between Android and iOS was still inferior. For instance, an RCS message is still unencrypted, and green bubbles aren't going anywhere.
