Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

I think it would be best for the "add another emoji" button

to be removed.

#### Why would you like to do it?

For the sake of UX consistency. Currently emojis are added through a long press, but then tapping that button is a second method, and the way that the user interracts with it isn't the same either (the full drawer pops up instead of just the quick picker).

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Remove it in favor of the long press variant

### Have you considered any alternatives?
no

### Additional context
none

### Are you willing to provide a PR?

no

Research direction

Start at the message reaction UI and compare the “add another emoji” button with the emoji picker opened by long-pressing a message. Done means the extra button is removed and long-press remains the available way to add reactions, with the existing reaction behavior still working.
