The Google Messages app on Android devices starts showing the reactions of Apple's iMessage app as emoji instead of annoying text that can cause embarrassment, which often appear in mixed group chats, and indeed this feature has been released and is working for some.
In the Messages app on iOS and Mac devices, users can add a reaction like a heart, thumbs up, laughter, question mark, or exclamation point, all of which appear as annotations on the iMessage app. These reactions can also be used on “green bubble” messages from users Android, but Android doesn't interpret it correctly and can lead to embarrassment.
For example, if you are writing a message on the iPhone to your Android friend and put a heart on the message, for an iOS user he will see a small heart on the message, but on the Android system, it displays it in a text, for example “loved” and then the text of the message. This applies to all iMessages reactions, as Google converts them to text in a way that seems strange, especially if Android users are not familiar with iMessage reactions.
9to5Google looked at some code in the latest Google Messages beta update and discovered that instead of displaying iMessage interactions as text, they would be translated into emojis, and of course it would be a much better solution for Android users.
At the moment, it's not clear exactly how this mod will work, we haven't tested it yet, but it might be expected that Google Messages will detect incoming reactions, for example if they are "like" it will be answered with the emoji 👍 may be below the intended message and not above it as in iMessage.
So displaying an iMessage reaction emoji will avoid some embarrassment in the interactions between iOS and Android users going forward, if Google eventually decides to implement this change and update it as it should.
It is worth noting that some users have reported that the feature has already appeared for them, which means that Google has begun to try it extensively and launch it already.

Yes, there is no doubt that the image is not well-known in the Arab world. But globally the situation is different.
There is what suffices you, is what I mean and want, and the lack of spread in the Arab world at least gives a signal to us Arabs that the matter does not concern us.
I do not know that anyone has used or used iMessage, even though I am in an area famous for the iPhone and no one else. It is a slandered messaging program in my opinion and does not compete with WhatsApp and its sisters, and the apple will not be able to change it because of its famous cage that is limited to its systems and devices, which by the way represents only XNUMX% /XNUMX to XNUMX% of the global mobility share.
Therefore, the issue of harmony between it and Android needs more efforts, while the solution WhatsApp is present and available in public and private hands, unlike iMessage.
There was a thought to make it open, but the apple does not like it, as mentioned above.
So what is the solution? Either you separate it from the obnoxious SMS system so that iPhone users can actually send messages exclusively, at least, and this is possible and I encourage it, or independently, like the failed attempts of FaceTime to open up to “others” and this is also technically excluded, or you open the bottle to be on the interface of Android programs, or you continue to change it as a program No one uses it, and this is what I expect, so we do not tire ourselves with the developments of a dead platform because it is trapped in the skin of the apple, and the BlackBerry and its messaging system are not far from it.
The program is really not very popular in the Arab region. But that doesn't mean no one uses it.
It is the most popular program in North America to the extent that some people there use the iPhone instead of Android, especially because it has i-message and all their acquaintances and friends use it.
My family and I use iMessage as well as some friends because I like text messages and consider them more reliable than WhatsApp and also calling in the first place
I use iMessage and I hope to develop it further
Unfortunately, few use it
