To send a Reaction, users open an existing conversation and tap the icon, before scrolling through to send the one of their choice – such as a sea of laughing emojis or the “really…?!” button.

They say Reactions gives a “fresh” way for users to communicate with each other and have promoted it with the tagline “actions speak louder than words”.
