In a chat, you can not only reply to a specific message in text, you can also reply with emoji reactions. Emoji reactions can help you quickly reply to a message and express feelings through Emojis such as OK, Agreed, +1, Thanks, and so on. Reactions are displayed below the message, without interrupting conversations or adding unncessary volume.
