Apple’s new video reactions feature can cause emojis to appear during a video session
Apple released a new feature called Reactions. Reactions are currently enabled by default on iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma. When Reactions are enabled, emojis can appear during a video call based on a perceived gesture by the video participant with iOS 17 or macOS Sonoma installed. This isn’t a feature made available by Therasoft so we don’t have control over these settings for iOS.
To disable this feature on iOS:
- Create a test video call
- Swipe down from the upper right corner of your iPhone or iPad to activate the Control Center
- Select Video Effects
- Tap Reactions so that it is no longer illuminated
To disable this feature on macOS:
- Create a test video call
- Click the green video camera icon at the top of your Mac’s menu bar
- Select Reactions to disable the feature
For more information, see Use Reactions, Presenter Overlay, and other effects when videoconferencing on Mac.
