To address the potential spam issue, Google has implemented a restriction where users won’t be able to react to emails sent to large groups. Despite this measure, it may not entirely eliminate the problem. Furthermore, emoji reactions cannot be sent for encrypted emails or those received via BCC (blind carbon copy). The maximum limit for reactions is set at 20 for individual emails, while in group emails, the limit is increased to 50.
The exact rollout date for this update is yet to be confirmed, but AssembleDebug suggests it will likely occur in batches, possibly within the current month. With the introduction of emoji reactions, users are hopeful that Google will address potential spam concerns or add extra preventative measures to mitigate the issue.
