“Liked” Texts

Why does everyone on a group text have to see if someone “likes” a text? Can’t Apple change the program so that just the person who sent the text sees that someone likes it?

This is especially annoying when an android user “likes” a text and the whole text gets repeated. Anyone else agree with me?

Message reactions are made for iMessage and act as normal text messages. When being used over SMS/MMS it will appear as a normal text message due to the compatibility. As of now, there is no way to change notifications only for reaction messages, but if you would like to make a suggestion to Apple click this link. - https://www.apple.com/feedback/
