# Emoji reactions
Emoji reactions allow you to react to messages with fun little emoji. Any
emoji can be used as a reaction, including
[custom emoji](/help/custom-emoji). Reactions appear in little boxes
underneath the message.
Emoji reactions let you quickly respond to a message. For example, 👍 is
commonly used to express agreement or confirm that you've [read the
message](/help/read-receipts). Any emoji can be used as a reaction, including
[custom emoji](/help/custom-emoji). Reactions appear at the bottom of the
message.
