React to messages

Reactions are emoji you can add to any message, a quick way to reply without typing.

Add a reaction​

  1. Hover over a message.
  2. Select the Add Reactions icon .
  3. Choose an emoji from the picker, or search for one.

The reaction appears below the message.

tip

Once a message already has reactions, you do not need to long-press it again. Tap the Add reaction icon at the end of the reaction row to go straight to the emoji picker.

Add to an existing reaction​

If someone else has already reacted with an emoji, you can add your reaction to the same one. This increases the count on that emoji instead of creating a duplicate.

Select the existing reaction emoji below the message. The count increases and your reaction is added.

See who reacted​

Hover over a reaction below the message to see who added it.

Reaction notices​

When someone reacts to one of your messages, a notice appears in the title bar with the reaction, so you can see it without leaving what you're doing. Select the notice to jump straight to the message.

This is available on the desktop app, on Windows and Mac.

Remove your reaction​

Select the reaction emoji you added. Your reaction is removed and the count decreases.
