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.
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.
I think it's a bug in IOS or tg for IOS, or a hardware bug in the replaced touchscreen on my iphone, a simple scroll puts a thumbs up in chat. Switched to android - problem solved.

Many don't understand this feature request, because they think, that disable "quick reactions" means disable reactions completely.
No! Quick reactions means to set a *default* reaction by just *double tapping* *anywhere* in the chat. This constantly is done by accident, especially for left handed or disabled users.
This request is about disabling *double tap* to set a *default* reaction!
Please stop polluting this feature request with other requests! Thanks.

I never used quick reactions intentionally, it always makes me add a thumbs up unintentionally because I somehow double tapped a message. It's annoying, please add an option to disable.

The quick reaction double tap also makes the menu slow to open when you simply 1-tap a message, as it waits for a second tap before opening. In addition to the horribly laggy animated reaction list at the top of the menu

So tired of those quick reactions when I'm just scrolling. I have no intention to leave a reaction.

This is truly ridiculous.
Imagine you reading a channel and you don't want the channel owner to know you read it.
The system, in principle, is designed to allow it.
But lo and behold, every minute or so, the gesture is misinterpreted and here's a thumbs-up you didn't want so please go and remove it! Hopefully, nobody noticed.
This is awful UX. If you insist it should be the default, at least make the damn flag.
I use reactions a lot and you always want to pick one anyway, and never just double tap.
Talk about people apparently not using their own product.

And just an idea in case you collect analytics and see that people use quick reactions: make sure to track how many of those get removed right after. Just go to analytics settings and check once again that you track it.
