Google has started rolling out a feature for messages that translates user reactions on iMessage into emojis. This experimental feature was first revealed last year, and it is still unclear whether Google intends to release the final version soon. However, if you are using the beta app, you will receive the update enabling this feature shortly.
When Android users interact with messages sent from an iPhone, the recipient receives textual interpretations of that interaction, which can sometimes be inaccurate and confusing. Emojis, on the other hand, are considered more precise. For instance, the word "love" is represented by a face with heart-shaped eyes, while an expression of surprise appears as a face with an open mouth.
When you click on the emoji, a note pops up explaining that it has been translated from a message, along with the sender’s name. The feature is enabled by default, but users can disable it if desired by going to "Advanced Options" on their iPhone, under "Messages Settings," and turning off "Show Reactions as Emojis," according to the website "Engadget."
