If you're an iPhone user and you get a lot of text messages then you probably already know that one of the best ways to quickly respond is to long-press a message and then select the heart, the thumbs up or one of the four quick reactions in iMessage.

Let's show you how to do it.
How to use Memoji reactions
- Open a text in iMessage
- Go to the list of icons above the keyboard and tap on Stickers
- Tap on a Memoji or Animoji reaction like the mind-blown one and hold your finger on it
- Drag it on top of a message, a photo, or a video that someone has sent you
- Let go
