Messages App in Android Now Displays iMessage Reactions inorder

Apple has included message responses as one of the features of iMessage. These are similar to Facebook’s reactions in that rather than responding with a “haha” or “ok,” you may just react to the message. This may be preferable to one-word responses, which we are aware some individuals dislike.

However, these responses are displayed improperly when viewed on an Android smartphone. Previously, responding to a message and seeing the response on Android would show a somewhat funny description of the reaction, but the good news is that Android Messages will now appropriately display such reactions.

Google was previously said to be working on resolving this issue, and it seems that the current update to the Google Messages app has resolved the issue. The update is now being handed out to customers, so if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t fret; it will soon find its way to your phone.

While this is hardly a revolutionary change, it does make it simpler to tidy up messages and makes the messaging experience more uniform even when messages are delivered cross-platform.
