Reactions, mentions and edits
Answer a message by writing in the same conversation, react to it with an emoji, or mention someone to make sure they see it.
React to a message
Section titled “React to a message”- Thumbs up: double-tap the message. Double-tap again to take it back.
- Any emoji: tap the smiley under the message, then pick one. Its last button opens the full list of emoji.
- Join in: tap a reaction that’s already there to add yours, or tap your own to take it off.
- See who reacted: press and hold a reaction. On a Mac, right-click it.
Each person who reacted is listed with their trade. On a Mac, click where these steps say tap.
Mention someone
Section titled “Mention someone”Type @ and pick a name from the list, then send. The name shows in bold in the message, and that person gets a notification, even if they have muted the conversation or turned off New chat message. They get one notification for the mention, not a second for the message.
The conversation’s own people are listed first, then the rest of the project, marked Will be added. Mentioning someone who isn’t in the conversation brings them in, so they can read it all:
- In General and a trade’s conversation, they are added as the message goes.
- In a group or a direct conversation, ProPlans asks first: Add and Send, Send Without Adding or Cancel. A direct conversation becomes a group of all of you.
- In a group, only its owner and admins are offered people from outside it.
See who someone is
Section titled “See who someone is”Tap someone’s picture beside their message, or their name in a mention. Their card shows their access level and trade, with View profile and Direct message. An Admin also sees Change access level.
Edit or delete your own message
Section titled “Edit or delete your own message”- Press and hold your message.
- Tap Edit Message or Delete Message.
- Move the pointer over your message and click the ••• beside its time, or right-click the message.
- Click Edit Message or Delete Message.
To edit, change the words in the box, which says Editing Message, and send. The message then says Edited. The cross beside Editing Message cancels the edit.
A deleted message becomes a grey Deleted message line, for everyone in the conversation.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Only your own messages can be edited or deleted.
- Everyone sees it at once: reactions, edits and deletions show on the other people’s screens within a couple of seconds.
- Offline, you can still react, edit and delete. The changes wait in your Outbox and go when you are back online: see Work offline.
- With reduce motion turned on in your device’s accessibility settings, the thumbs up appears without its animation.
