These are many of the same features we&#8217;ve seen on apps like WhatsApp and iMessage, but it&#8217;s nice to have a familiar set of features across applications. Make sure your app is up-to-date to see these new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Replies<\/strong> &#8211; Easily reply to a specific message in a thread. Simply swipe to the right on a message to reply.<\/li><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Custom Emoji Reactions<\/strong> &#8211; Previously you could like a message by double tapping. Now you can long press to add any emoji reaction.<\/li><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Polls<\/strong> &#8211; You can now create a poll in groups.
