Reactions

React with an emoji

A quick thumbs-up, no typing needed. Reactions acknowledge, agree and vote without adding another message to the thread.

1 min read Buzz guide

Reactions are the fastest thing in Buzz. Instead of typing “got it”, you tap an emoji on the message — everyone sees it, and the channel stays clean.

How to react

Hover or long-press a message

On desktop, hover the message and click the emoji face. On mobile, long-press the message.

Pick an emoji

Tap a common one, or search the picker for exactly what you mean — 👍 ✅ 🎉 👀 🙏.

Tap again to remove

Changed your mind? Tap your reaction again to take it back. Tap someone else's to add yours to the count.

Why bother

  • Acknowledge without a new notification — a 👍 says “seen, thanks”.
  • Vote quickly — drop 👍 / 👎 on options and count the emoji.
  • Keep threads readable — ten reactions beat ten “+1” messages.

A reaction is often the kindest reply — it closes the loop without pulling everyone's attention back to the channel.
