2. Tap the Emoji Icon: A reaction menu appears.

3. Select Your Emoji: Choose an emoji to react instantly.

4. Notification to Sender: The person who posted the status will see your reaction just like a direct message.

This makes interaction more lively without the need to type a separate reply.

🔹 Benefits of This Feature
