If you are like me, you occasionally hit the wrong emoji to react to a message. It can be rather embarrassing to click the “angry” emoji when you meant to click the “thumbs up” emoji, then scramble to change it before anyone sees that angry face.
There’s a solution . . . customize the emoji menu. In my case, remove the “angry” emoji completely.
Whether on an Android or an iPhone, do this:
Open Facebook Messenger
Click any message thread to open
Long Click any message in the thread
The emoji reaction menu will appear
Click the +
Click Customize
The emoji reaction menu will be on the top of the screen and the emoji options will be at the bottom of the screen
Tap the emoji reaction you want to replace
Tap the new emoji reaction
When done, Click the check mark at the top of the screen to confirm the changes
