  • iMessage and Android users can now communicate with reactions to chats.
  • Android users will no longer get a new text. Instead, they’ll see a similar reaction as other iMessage users would.
  • Unfortunately, this is a hacky workaround and not full support for iMessage on non-iPhones.

If you’re an Android phone user, you’ve likely gotten that text from an iPhone user. You know the one: “Loved…” or “Liked…” followed by the text you originally sent. This happens because iPhone users react to your message with an emoji, but only iMessage users can “read” this emoji. The SMS your phone receives just regurgitates the reaction and the original text. It’s very silly.
