😂 I’m too stupid to get the joke 🥲
A large portion of the 3rd party android SMS apps can't display emoji reactions, and so describe the emoji as a text instead.
The funniest part is Apple refused to work with Google on an open standard so Google reworked it's app to give Apple users the same experience Android users have had to have for years when texting with iMessage users, then not long after that apple switched to using a shared open standard
Fun fact: if one person with an iPhone is messaging someone with an android using Google Messages, and the iPhone user hasn't enabled RCS chats, any reactions the iPhone user sends will show up on the Android as a message reaction, but reactions the Android user sends will show up as something like "[phone number] reacted '😂' to 'so I bought an iPhone today...'" which is pretty funny. How the tables turn I guess
🫢SMS
Welcome to the US, we're backwards like that.
WhatsApp ain't much better to be fair (it's Facebook owned, so it has "encryption")
WhatsApp has encreeption - it turns decent people into creeps
☺️session messenger warmed my heart lately
Are there any SMS apps that are FOSS and will work with those reactions?
I'm on android and get those weird reaction texts all the time.
I have not found one.
Someone needs to update their iPhone.
Same vibe
Who's got time to laugh at an image?
Petuh?

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
