ooo if anything is max cringe, it’s this cast 🙈 

tapbacks are choose your own adventure: direct and efficient (👍) or chaotic and ambiguous (‼️).

also a thumbs up tapback > “k” text response. always.

yes the ability to react to something is amazing

but tapbacks are max cringe because:

a.) they're called tapbacks and not reactions

b.) you must choose one from a short list of pre-approved feelings

a.) fair point. i have a feeling tapbacks originated on the watch to make responding to messages more efficient and probably has some haptic association. 

b.) also fair point, but the emoji search function is an A+ feature and it is healthy to use words when describing more complex feelings :)
