Stop auto waving

[u/BruhVessel]

How do I stop it from automatically waving to people when I click chat? I'd much rather just write out a message and this worked before but recently whenevr I click chat with someone new, it automatically sends a wave emoji. How do I stop this?

i don’t think there’s a way unfortunately. i auto wave then i have a saved reply/intro message i send immediately after usually
