I have a family text thread that is comprised of 8 iOS users and 2 Android users. I hate getting reaction type message responses that send to everyone but on Android phones there is no concept of likes or reactions to a message so it comes through like the examples below. I would love to be able to have those messages immediately removed from sight with no indication of a message received. Probably the best way to do it is to classify them as they come in and maybe store them with an isReaction attribute with a value of 1 for reactions, 0 for normal sms content. Then you could just create a couple defaults that will show/hide reactions and notify/silent reaction arrivals.

Pseudo code

arrReactionPatterns = ['Liked an image.' , 'Liked "', 'Laughed at "', etc...]

if (sms.startsWith(arrReactionPatterns)) {
sms.setAttribute("isReaction", "1")

You get the idea. All I want is for apples hackish use of sms to be like social media to be banished. As a perk, I would love to see a power user feature that allows you to establish custom patterns to automatically hide
