You can react to a chat message with an emoji from a quick-pick set. Reactions are a lightweight way to acknowledge a message ("got it", "agreed", "huh?") without typing a reply.
To react
- Open the conversation in the chat panel.
- Hover over the message (or tap it on mobile) until the small action row appears in the top-right of the message bubble.
- Click the smiley face button (😀). A picker pops up with six options: 👍, ❤️, 😂, 😮, ❗, and ❓.
- Click an emoji. The picker closes and your reaction appears as a small pill below the message, showing the emoji and a count of everyone who reacted that way.
Click an existing reaction pill to toggle: if you already reacted with that emoji, your reaction is removed; if you have not, you join the count. Pills you have reacted to are highlighted with a darker style so you can see at a glance which ones include you. Hover over a pill to see the names of everyone who reacted with that emoji.
A few things to know
- Reactions work on the Shop channel and on direct messages.
- Announcements are read-only; you cannot react to them.
- System notes in the stream (someone joined the shop, a message was pinned or unpinned) are not reactable.
- You can react to your own messages too. There is no self-react restriction.
