• Google Messages is rolling out a new “double tap to heart” gesture for reacting to messages, similar to Instagram’s “like” feature.
• The feature is activated through a server-side update, so users need not update their Messages app to access it.
• Currently, the only reaction available is a heart emoji, and there is no option to customize or select other emojis, though this may change in the future.

Google Messages is making its Instagram-like “double tap to heart” gesture available more widely. First spotted in February in a beta state, the feature now seems to be rolling out to all Google Messages users.
