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.
They finally added reactions. But yes, if someone doesn't want to see it, he should be able to hide them for himself. Furthermore, group admins / people in PMs should be able to disable it.

pressing on the message shows reactions overlay that slows down UI and makes it easier to misclick. An option to disable this overlay in private chats (i don't mind still seeing how the other person reacts to the messages) is very desirable.
Again, I am not suggesting to be able to disable it for both parties in private chat, but let me personally not see quick reactions overlay if i don't want to use it.

would be extremely nice to be able to toggle new features. as for political extremism, i personally am against it too, but i believe it's not Telegram's (or any platform's for that matter) responsibility to police online communication..

Please remove quick reactions from the Android and Desktop clients. Or at least make an option to disable them.

An option to disable the reactions in PM's are totally needed. In both mobile and desktop clients.

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.
