FAQs
What is the difference between replying to a message and replying in a thread?
Replying to a message pulls the original message down to the bottom of the conversation along with your new reply, keeping them visually connected. Replying to a thread creates or adds to a separate, branched discussion that keeps related messages grouped together without cluttering the main channel.
Can I react to a message with more than one emoji?
Yes, we have five emoji reactions available. You can use multiple of them to react to the same message.
