How do I react to a message?
For all Remind users. Skin tone setting is only available in the Remind app at this moment.
You can react to announcements or individual and group messages with an emoji. Leaving a reaction is a great way to let the sender know you received their message, answer their question, and/or provide them feedback.
When you open your Remind app, we recommend reviewing your account settings and choosing one of the six emoji skin tone modifiers that most matches you.
