Google Messages begins displaying iMessage reactions as emoji
the experimental feature in a deep dive of the Google Messages beta app last year. It's unclear where it'll come out for the stable version, but If you're using the beta app, you'll get the update that enables it soon enough.
When iPhone users react to messages sent from an Android device, the recipient gets text interpretations of that reaction. A"thumbs up" to a text that says"see you in ten?" will be translated to"liked 'see you in ten?'", for instance. It can make the chat thread a bit cluttered and confusing. notes, they're not exact translations of the actual reactions.
The feature is enabled by default, but users can toggle it off if they want by going to Advanced under the Messages' Settings and switching off"Show iPhone reactions as emoji."
