Bugs and Suggestions

Yeah! There needs to be a way to reduce the chances of reacting to a message by mistake especially when scrolling. One of my friends just messaged me that a close friend of hers passed away and I accidentally sent a thumbs up reaction, then accidentally changed it to a laughing icon, then finally left it at the clapping icon. I had to call her to make sure she knew I wasn't some sort of psychopath. That was the worst time for that mistake to happen. I agree with Seiji as posted.

I use this feature always by accident and people wonder why I'm
reacting to things. It apparently happens when I'm closing the app or
closing a discussion or something, as I never see it myself. Please just add the switch in the settings, it will be better for both me and everyone else.

I had to change the quick reaction symbol to the hot dog, because that seems to mean pretty much nothing, so it distracts others the least.

Yes, please provide an option to toggle the quick reaction feature off. I keep using it accidentally and really have no need for it.

Please do something about neo nazi and other extremist content on telegram. It's really hard to recommend this app that is otherwise great because of how easily it is to find groups that advocate for "accelerationism" or "volk nationalism" or whatever the dog whistle of the day is.

Some kind of acknowledgement would be great regarding this matter.

I don't think this thread will be taken seriously by the team if it discusses these issues in parallel with quick reactions. But feel free to create a separate issue and link it here - for those who are interested in expanding upon that.
As for quick reactions - I often also have no idea that I've left one. And I can only see it later on when I scroll back to the message. So to me - if something keeps getting triggered by users by accident - then that's not great UX.

designers should make emoji reactions looks more neutral, techno design. Not colourful design.

It's not truth. In Russia nobody gone to jail because of this feature. You are dreamer.

Quick reactions are not bad at all, but sometimes we put react on messages accidentally and in wrong situations while scrolling, so it would be so much better to have an option to disable or enable it as user's preference, this feature is there in Telegram X app, other than this, nothing bad with quick reactions, it doesn't make ugly ui or ux at all.

Please let the users decide if they want to use quick reaction or not . 2or 3 times i used it, when i wanted to like something AND at least 100 times, when i was simply scrolling. IT IS REALLY ANNOYING

As passive aggressive as the original request is, it is a real problem with the UX - please consider implementing a switch to opt out of quick reactions. Like many people in this comment thread, there are countless times I've sent a thumbs up by accident while scrolling, sometimes on a completely inappropriate message, and I had never used it deliberately.
