About Direct Messages
Users can either hover over a DM and click the reaction button, or double-tap on the DM and choose an emoji from the pop-up menu that appears.
Clicking or tapping on the reaction will reveal who was behind it, and all participants in a DM conversation will be notified when a new reaction is added.
People can opt to undo a reaction at any time, and it will be removed from the DM.
