How Do I Like a Text Message on My Smartphone?

Liking a text message is a great way to let someone know you got their message, read their message, and approve of this message, all without having to type a whole message back. Here’s how to like or react to text messages on your smartphone.

Change a Reaction on a Text Message on Android

If you decide at some point you want to change a reaction you have previously put on a text, you can do this as well in just a couple steps. Tap and hold the text message with the reaction you want to change, and you can then tap a different reaction emoji to change the current one. This is a good trick to remember in case you accidentally react when you didn’t mean to or you’ve picked the wrong reaction. This way you don’t risk sending reactions that could be misinterpreted, which is easy to do over text especially when mistakes are made.

Can You Like a Text Message on Android?

Yes, Apple users aren’t the only ones who can like or otherwise react to messages. In fact, Android users have a leg up because Android lets you choose from any emoji in a text message reaction. However, not all Android phones can use this feature.
