Thanks to an update for Google Messages, Android phones now finally support Apple's iMessage reactions, using emojis to display them.

Liked “*insert message here*”

” message is sent, and translates that into a reaction with an emoji. The mystery comes when reacting to images, as Android users normally just get a message saying “Liked an image”. Will it simply react to the latest image sent, or would it not even translate the reaction? We’ll have to wait and see.

The feature is currently rolling out to select users, with even beta testers having trouble getting the feature. Hopefully it becomes available for all users soon so chats from around the world will be a little less cluttered.is using RCS , which is basically their version of iMessage. Unlike SMS, RCS uses a data connection so it’s able to handle 8,000 characters instead of SMS’ 160 character limit.

Since iMessage is one of Apple’s biggest weapons when it comes to customer loyalty, it would be interesting to see how Apple reacts to this. Will they make it harder for Android phones to translate reactions, or will they just let it be? Only time will tell.
