How Do You Like a Text Message on Android?

I totally agree! A quick ‘like’ makes it easier to acknowledge messages, especially in busy chats.

22

Has anyone noticed that some apps don’t have any reaction options? It feels a bit dated, doesn’t it? How do you guys cope with that?

23

Definitely! It’s frustrating when you want to express something quickly and the app doesn’t allow it. I wish all messaging apps would adopt these features!

24

I love adding a little humor with reactions! Sometimes, I just send a laughing emoji in response to someone’s message for fun. Anyone else do that?

25

Oh, absolutely! Nothing lightens the mood like a well-timed meme reaction on Messenger. It’s all about keeping the vibe positive.

26

What do you think about reactions being overused though? Sometimes I feel like all I see are thumbs up or hearts.

27

I get that! It can feel a bit impersonal when every reply is just a thumbs up. Variety is key!

I can’t help but reflect on the old days of texting. Just receiving a reply felt special back then. Now, it’s all about the likes and reactions!

29

So true! While it’s great to express reactions, there’s something nostalgic about just having a good old-fashioned text conversation.

To manage notification settings for liked messages, go to your messaging app settings. You can choose to receive notifications for reactions or mute them altogether. This way, you’re always in control!

Thanks for that tip! I never realized I could mute reactions. It definitely makes a difference for a clutter-free experience.

You can also customize how each message thread alerts you. Just tap on the thread in your messages and adjust settings for specific contacts as needed!

33

I always wondered if there are settings for just the liked reactions without turning off all notifications. Thank you for clarifying that!

34

Great point! It’s super helpful especially for group chats where reactions can get wild!

35

For those who don’t like constant pings, consider enabling ‘Do Not Disturb’ during certain hours. It helps keep the noise down!

That’s a smart move! Who doesn’t want some peace and quiet in the digital noise?

I guess managing notifications can be a real time-saver! Once I figured out mine, my phone was so much more manageable.

You can usually disable ‘reaction notifications’ in the settings. It prevents alerts from accidental likes and keeps your phone less jumpy!

39

But what if you accidentally like a message and don’t want to receive a notification? Is that even an option?

Nice! That seems really useful. It’s good to know there’s a way to keep things smooth.
