This customization would offer a more personalized messaging experience, allowing users to select reactions that better suit their communication style. The feature is expected to let users change any of the six default emojis and restore the original set at any time.

While not yet available to beta testers, similar references have been spotted in the Android beta, indicating a wider rollout is likely. This upcoming feature aims to enhance user interaction within the app.
