    A large portion of the 3rd party android SMS apps can’t display emoji reactions, and so describe the emoji as a text instead.

      The funniest part is Apple refused to work with Google on an open standard so Google reworked it’s app to give Apple users the same experience Android users have had to have for years when texting with iMessage users, then not long after that apple switched to using a shared open standard

      Are there any SMS apps that are FOSS and will work with those reactions?

      I’m on android and get those weird reaction texts all the time.

        Welcome to the US, we’re backwards like that.

        WhatsApp ain’t much better to be fair (it’s Facebook owned, so it has “encryption”)
