New Delhi: Google messages It’s getting a new feature that enhances iMessage responsiveness within the app. According to a report by 9to5Google, Android Users will be able to access Reactions: emoji characters instead of text even if they don’t use iMessage.
Apple users — both iPhone and Mac — can add a response to a message. These responses can be heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, laughter, question mark or exclamation. These responses show up as annotations to iMessage.
Reactions can also be used on “green bubble” messages from Android users. However, Android may not always interpret them correctly and this can lead to awkwardness. For example, if you heart a message on an iPhone, it shows up in text to the Android user as follows: [Person] “loved”.
As per the code seen in the latest beta update Google Messages, iMessage responses will not be shown as text. Instead, they will be translated into an emoji response. Rupees
“Show iPhone reactions as emoji,” reads a line of code, under the Messages app on iOS and Mac devices, users can add a reaction such as a heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, laughter, question mark, or exclamation , all of which appear as annotations to an iMessage. These responses can also be used on “green bubble” messages from Android users, but Android doesn’t interpret them correctly and this can lead to awkwardness.
For example, if you heart a message on an iPhone, a fellow iPhone user will see a little heart on the message. On Android, however, when you heart a message it shows it in text: [Person] “Loved done” and then the text of the message. This is true of all iMessages responses, Google awkwardly turns them into text, especially if Android users are not aware of iMessage responses.
9to5Google looks at the code in the latest beta update google messages And it turns out that instead of showing iMessage responses as text, Google Messages may soon translate them into emoji, which would be a better solution for Android users.
“Show iPhone responses as emoji,” reads one line of code. “iMessage currently has a different set of responses than those offered by Google Messages in RCS Chat. Google may be responsible for this, as noted in the code for “mapping” iMessage responses, possibly mapping to the set of responses available in Google Messages today, or perhaps mapping to different emoji”, 9to5Google reports.
According to the report, this feature has started rolling out for some Android users.
