iMessage
Apple emoji + Tapback reactions
iMessage renders the Apple Color Emoji font (the best-known emoji art). It also has six special "Tapback" reactions — heart, like, dislike, ha-ha, exclaim, question — accessible by long-pressing a message.
How to use: Tap and hold any message for the six Tapback options. Apple's emoji keyboard supports skin-tone modifiers on hands, families, and people emoji.
