Allow different choices for emojis in the quick select part of the emoji reaction picker #2125

Open K4LCIFER opened 11 months ago

Your use case

What would you like to do?

I would like to have different emojis shown on the emoji reaction picker without needing to go into the full emoji picker.

Why would you like to do it?

I have no use for almost all of the emojis in the default selection, and I would like to have diffrent ones to choose from.

How would you like to achieve it?

Some method of choosing different emojis

Have you considered any alternatives?

I can think of two options:

  1. Allow the user to choose their own defaults (I favor this one)
  2. Have it reflect the most frequently, or recently used emojis

Additional context

I am specifically referring to this selection that pops up when you long press a message.

A vote for most frequent/more recent emoji reactions being the default behavior, perhaps with an option to configure for user to configure defaults if desired. In iOS, the emoji keyboard shows frequently used by default, but that interface isn't available for a reaction emoji. Other IM platforms like Slack similarly show frequent emoji in the reaction picker.
