The reaction feature allows users to use stickers to react to photos and videos without commenting.
Please note that you must have a sticker subscription and be using version 22.10.0 of the app or newer to use stickers.
How to leave a reaction:
1. Tap a photo or video.
2. Tap the smiley face icon above the star icon to select the sticker you wish to use.
(The eight most recent automatically-suggested stickers will be displayed.)
3. A small version of the sticker you selected will appear on the photo or video.
How reactions are displayed:
Anyone with a sticker subscription can use the reaction feature. Only the most recent reaction will be displayed on the photo or video, and you can tap that reaction to see any prior reactions.
How reactions differ from sticker comments:
• Notifications
Notifications for sticker comments are sent in the same way as for text comments, and they also appear on the Recents tab. For reactions, notifications are not sent and do not appear on the Recents tab.
• How stickers are displayed
When stickers are used in the comment section, you can see who used which sticker just by looking at the comments. However, after leaving a reaction, you need to tap the smiley face icon on the photo/video to see a list of users who left reactions and which stickers they used.
