Dear Facegram... Quick reactions is an annoying useless feature that just gluts the overall look and feel of the whole chat area UX/UI. Please add an option to disable that feature totally for the individual view in groups and for private chats where it is disabled totally if one of the two users disabled it. It's so damn annoying... maybe quit making a messenger a bad social media platform. Telegram gets more and more glutted with stupid features. You'd better do something regarding privacy concerns and neo-nazi groups and channels instead of adding goofy features that nobody really needs.
I think the fact that there's no option to disable quick reactions is really a regresssion, especially since I'm more willing to edit/delete/view seen receipts of a message than wanting to like it. There's a ton of features in the context menu which makes it way more favorable to be open rather than a reaction to be given, plus opening it with a long-press is, as stated in the name, pretty long and annoying.
TLDR: Context menu is way more propitious to be open than a reaction to be given, therefore it makes no sense to prioritize the quick-reaction feature by default, other than wanting to be like Instagram/Messenger/Whatever, especially when there's absolutely no way to rollback this behaviour.
Telegram always has a lot of settings for everything, so I don't see why such a simple thing wouldn't even exist in the first place.

Please really introduce an option to disable reactions entirely, meaning seeing and receiving them. I started using Telegram as an awesome messenger and am now whitnessing it becoming a shitty social network with a lot of anti-features which just distract from the conversation. In my humble opinion, Telegram was already feature-complete before introducing animated stickers

And for the first time, I accidentally reacted with a thumbs-down instead of tapping reply, because they're so close together. I really wish this feature could be turned off!

Often find myself making accidental reactions with this feature.
Please read. He didn't say to remove them. He said add the option to disable them optionally.

(Android) Quick reaction gesture is so badly handled. Every time I just scroll the chat (no double-tapping, just smooth scrolling), it places the reactions on the messages that are even not under my thumb at the moment, sometimes reactions are placed to 2 messages in a row, all accidentally. Very disappointing.

Please just add an option to disable it. It may be a good feature for others, not for me.

No need being rude to the developers. This feature does need a disable button. It isn't hard to pick a reaction manually from the pop-up window, and for me thats quite enough. The quick reaction feature causes more problems than actual usefulness and is really very annoying. I might want to use it when this feature is polished in the future, but probably not. The reactions themselves are a great addition to tg. Thank you guys for that 🙌

This feature does need a disable button. Agree.

I accidentally activate this feature on my phone's touch screen on a daily basis and it seriously needs a disable toggle.
