August 3rd pending Senate bill may ban tapbacks and increase the Twitter character limit.

The new Apple mobile operating system, iOS 10, is finally here, along with a whole slate of exciting new features — including a new Messages function called Tapbacks. So what is a Tapback, exactly? It's basically a way to react to text messages without having to type a full response, making it the quick reply option you never realized you wanted.

It's easy to miscommunicate over text messages; for example, a lack of a response, while frequently absolutely benign in intention, can sometimes feel very hostile. If you don't hear back from someone, it's all too easy to convince yourself that they misunderstood the tone or meaning of your message and that now the person you were talking to is angry at you. So even though your friend might have rightly just interpreted your message as the final word in the conversation that didn't need a response, in your mind, your friend is now grievously offended.

So for all our sakes, it's probably best that iOS now has Tapbacks, which allow people to share their reaction to a text without typing a complete message. Tapbacks show up as icons that you can add to a message you've received. Options include a thumbs up, a thumbs down, a heart, exclamation points, a question mark, and a the word "haha." The icons appear next to the message you received inside a thought bubble, implying that they're not so much a reply as a bit of insight into what you were thinking when you saw it.
