Finally some good news for iPhone and Watch Captain Hooker and Peter Porn (1987)Android users in the same group chat. Emoji reactions, or Tapbacks, now work properly between iPhone and Android messages.
According to The Verge, which discovered this quiet update, when an Android user sends a reaction to an iPhone via RCS message, the emoji displays inline instead of as a separate message. The same goes for when an iPhone user reacts to a message sent from an Android.

And it works for Android users too. Credit: Screenshot: Mashable Incompatibly between iPhones and Androids, which cause the dreaded green bubble, have tested relationships for years. Androids rely on RCS messages, an end-to-end encrypted method that relies on connectivity provided by your carrier.
Apple uses its proprietary iMessage, an encrypted service that operates over Wi-Fi and cellular data networks, but it lacks seamless compatibility with RCS messaging. However, partly due to the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which enforces interoperability of devices, Apple finally relented and enabled RCS message support with the iOS 18 update.
Unfortunately, while messaging between iPhone and Android is starting to feeling somewhat normal, the green bubble remains.
