Use Quick Replies or Double Tap to React on Arattai

Double-tap to react

Prerequisites  

  • Mobile Device: This feature is available on the Arattai mobile app for both Android and iOS.
  • Stable Internet: A stable connection is required to ensure your preference is saved to your account.

What are Quick Reactions  

The Quick Reaction or the Double-tap to react feature is designed for speed and convenience. It allows you to express your thoughts on a message instantly by simply double-tapping it. Instead of opening a full emoji menu, you can send a pre-selected "default" reaction in a fraction of a second.

How it Works

  • The Gesture: Quickly tap a message bubble twice.
  • The Result: Your default emoji will appear at the bottom of that message.
  • The Customization: You can choose which emoji is sent during this gesture. Currently, Arattai allows you to switch between the 👍 (Like) and ❤️ (Love) emojis to best fit your personal style.
