2. Find the Message to React To:
- Scroll through the chat until you find the message you want to react to.
3. Hover Over the Message:
- Move your mouse pointer over the message you want to react to.
- You will see a small “smiley face” icon (emoji icon) appear to the right of the message.
4. Click on the Emoji Icon:
- Click on the emoji icon to open the list of available emojis.
5. Choose an Emoji to React:
- Select the emoji you want to use as a reaction from the list.
- Once you click on the emoji, it will be added as a reaction to the message.
Using the Mobile App:
1. Open the Discord App on Your Mobile Device:
- Launch the Discord app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Access a Server or Direct Message:

Once you’ve reacted to a message, the chosen emoji will appear next to the message. Other users in the same conversation will also see the reaction you added. You can add multiple reactions to a single message, and you can remove your reactions by clicking or tapping on them again.
Please note that Discord’s features and interface may receive updates over time, so the steps described above may change or evolve. However, the general process of reacting to messages with emojis should remain consistent.
