Tapbacks18

An attempt to bring the Tapbacks feature from iOS 18+ down to iOS 15 / 16 / 17.

Features

• A round smiley button beside the six classic tapbacks opens the emoji keyboard; the picked emoji is sent as a tapback.
• You can even drop any emoji into the message of someone using iOS 18+ who is not jailbroken 👀
• Emoji from others show up in the Tapback bubble, including from iOS 18+ non jailbroken devices.
• Between devices that all have Tapbacks18, the emoji lands on the exact message, photos and files included.
• Notifications and the conversation list preview show the emoji tapback ("Reacted 🔥 to “…”") instead of "Loved …".
• Compatible with EmojiPort.
• Experimental “Native emoji tapbacks”

Known limitations

• Sticker tapbacks from iOS 18 (amt 2007/3007) become a plain-text message ("Reacted with a sticker").
• If the tweak is not loaded (e.g. reboot into jailed mode), emoji tapbacks show as hearts.
• iOS 16/17 devices without the tweak may not display amt 2006 at all.
• The pinned-conversation tapback bubble does not show emoji.
• Group circles: classic tapbacks in the extra circles are drawn with SF Symbols (not ChatKit's own glyphs); at most 4 circles are shown; long-press on an extra circle and sent-message platters (circles to the right) are not fully tested.
