Emoticon selection issues

Forum Suggestions

Let me preface this with it may just be me flailing:

It is hard for me to select reactions besides the default love :heart:. I either end up highlighting the whole bar or toggling the other reaction choice on and off with a delay so I have trouble selecting. Sometimes it even yells at me that I’ve done too many reactions in a short time.

My other observation is that if I do the ‘squinchy face’ :persevere:, it often won’t let me change it if reconsider it later.

If anyone has run across either of these and can help, I’d love some tips!

I have the selection problem on iPad (which is what I mainly use)
I have to have press multiple times to get the right one.

Thanks for letting me know that I’m not alone!

I am primarily on an iPhone.

Just out of curiosity, do you have issues reacting to a post?

I have just got out my iPad right now and found that long pressing on the :heart: opens up the little pop-up menu to select the reaction. I hope that works for you. :hugs:
EDIT: I have tried doing this a few more times and found that most of the time it thinks I’m trying to highlight the text on the reply button. Sometimes it also pops up the iOS context menu which gets in the way of the reaction bar. Sometimes it doesn’t, and I can still press the reaction fine.

The squinchy face? I don’t seem to have that option as a reaction…

I guess it’s the squinchy laughing face!

Yes I get the bar getting in the way and I can’t quite get a consistent way of pressing. It’s the only place I have this problem.i think it’s the inconsistency that’s most annoying.

Yes, that is what is happening for me as well.
