  • Google Messages could soon get an Instagram-like gesture to react to messages.
  • The company could replace the long-press action for reactions with a quicker double-tap gesture.

Google is reportedly testing a new way for users to react to chats in Google Messages. Instead of long-pressing a message to pull up the array of emoji reactions, you might soon be able to double and react to chats. The feature sounds akin to how liking a post works on Instagram.
