iPhone users can now react to messages with any emoji or sticker, expanding beyond the original six Tapback options. This feature is available with the iOS 18 update. The iOS 18 update, released in September, allows users to long-press a message and select from a full emoji keyboard or stickers to react. This includes custom Genmoji for users with compatible devices. This new functionality aims to provide more expressive communication in iMessage, offering a wider range of reactions than the previous limited options. The update also includes other features like lock screen customization.
