Android Messages and iMessage reactions

[pseudoware]

Not strictly a Pixel 6 thing, but since we're all on 12 and have Android Messages by default...

Anyone have this update where they properly see iMessage reactions instead of getting "loved an image" or "laughed at..." messages? I

I'm yet to see this change. Looking forward to it because a lot of my family members have phones.

Okay, that made me laugh out loud...

 

[pseudoware]

Laughed at "I don't text people who have iPhones lol."

Edit: Put them all on spam list

I have not seen the update yet. Messages for me still displays the "so-and-so laughed at..."

Haven't seen it, either. I even have the beta of Android Messages

This article from November say Messages version 10.7 has started rolling out with the feature, and a couple in the comments said it works for them.

The reactions work with other Pixels. Is that common knowledge? GF and friend have Pixel 3s and I can do reactions to only their messages. This has worked for a while.

Yera, I've been waiting since I saw that article and similar in November but still nada. I kept checking for app updates to see if the feature was going to be enabled, but I've given up on it at this point.

I'm on the beta version and cleared app data, etc. Just waiting for an iPhone user to react to a message. But I don't want to encourage them.

Looks like you all have RCS/chat enabled, which is a good thing. I only have two Android contacts with it. We can only do reactions if everyone else in the conversation is using RCS.

Unlike Apple, where they enabled the reactions in the iPhone even for regular SMS messages. Pretty arrogant, IMO.

Why is it arrogant? If they didn't enable it 85% of the iPhone owners likely wouldn't even know it was a setting and the iPhoners would be in the same boat we are in.
