Message Reactions

Better Messages allows users to react to messages with emojis for quick feedback and engagement.

How it works​

Users can add emoji reactions to any message by clicking on it or using the reaction button. Multiple users can react to the same message, and the reaction count is displayed below the message. The available reaction emojis can be customized by administrators using a drag-and-drop interface. An optional popup shows which users reacted with each emoji.
