Block iPhone Tapbacks?

[Matthew Indovina]

Is there any way to block iPhone tapbacks, or better yet, turn it into an emoji?
I'm so tired of seeing:

Laughed at "....
Liked "...
Emphasized an Image

I mean, why doesn't apple just send a laughing emoji or a thumbs up?
I'd pay $100 for an app that would just block these messages
Until then, I'm just responding in kind, copying their text message and adding "Laughed at" in front of it

No idea what "iPhone tapbacks" are, and I've not seen anything like what you describe in messages.

Can't be done, as this is coming from Apple.
I too, get these replies from my friends with iPhones...

when you text someone with an iphone, that person can like your text. its kind of like hitting the "like" button here in AF, except it is done thru iphone's messaging app. it will just show up as so and so "liked" your text. it is kind of annoying, but i learned to live with it.

iPhone users can react to messages:

But for Android users it comes through like this:

But I would think an app could be developed that identified and blocked these messages, they all start the same way.

oh i'm sure something like that might be developed....but will it? its annoying to me, but not a total big deal. i really doubt that there will be an app for it.
