Very Necessary Reactions! vs iShrug: Kaomoji and ASCII Art Usage & Stats
Let's be honest, the default iMessage reactions are great...if you're the type of person to only have 6 feelings. But chances are you’re pretty unique! So embrace it. From now on, you never have to give a Ha-Ha you don't fully mean or a boring old Thumbs Up just to get through the conversation, because you've armed yourself with the ultimate (and did I mention expanding?) reactions upgrade you can get. Make your convos better and actually sound like yourself with Very Necessary Reactions.
