What’s changing
Last year, we made it easier for you to access your most used emojis in Google Chat. Building upon this, we’re adding quick reactions in Chat, which displays your most frequently used emojis upon hovering over a message. You'll also see options to open the full emoji picker, reply in a thread, quote in reply and more.
