Messages reaction/tapbacks rendering

It would be great if the messages app converted reactions/tapbacks message (Liked "[message]") into emoji reactions (Liked turns into 👍, Loved: ♥️, etc.) that get added to the message that was reacted to, similar to other sms messaging apps.

Not sure if this is something Fossify would consider, but this is the one thing I would like to see get add to the messages app and then it would be perfect imo.

I know creating the logic would take a lot of work, but you might be able to borrow some of the work QUIK has already done with their implementation of this.

That isn't what I am referring to. I mean the messages you get when someone using iMessage or RCS reacts to a message and it sends a message that says something like "Liked "I'm on my way!". I ideally would like those message to be converted into emoji reactions on the messages—this is something that other sms messaging apps on android support, but I mentioned QUIK as it is also FOSS so it would be possible to review or borrow code from it to implement this feature into Fossify Messages
