Currently, it&#8217;s only on the Android Gmail app, but it&#8217;s presumably coming to other Gmail clients.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, email is from the 1970s and does not natively support emoji reactions. That makes this a Gmail-proprietary feature, which is a problem for federated emails that are expected to work with a million different clients and providers. If you send an emoji reaction and someone on the email chain is not using an official Gmail client, they will get <em>a new, additional email<\/em> containing your singular reactive emoji. Google is not messing with the email standard, so people not using Gmail will be the most affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1973281#p3\">Read 3 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1973281&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1973281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gmail unleashes \u201cemail emoji reactions\u201d onto an unsuspecting world<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gmail emoji reactions below and email (left) and the &#8220;add emoji&#8221; bar on the right.
