It’s annoying AF to Android users, a.k.a. most of us.I know you’ve been conditioned by Facebook and other social media services to show your approval of a friend’s cat being hit by a Budweiser truck—but when you’re in a mixed group text, it doesn’t work the same way.On Facebook or Twitter, when you Like or Heart some tragic thing happening, it just attaches an icon to the original post.In a group text with 20 people in it, it takes the sentence you Liked—such as: “I’m feeling very sad because yesterday they stopped selling the McRib, and I’m really, really torn up about it.
