Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
If I wanna like/add heart to a message, I have to hold and then choose it. It's be more effortless and enjoyable to double-click to attach/react with a default emoji. Similarly like facebook and other platforms have.

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

1. Faster
2. Better UX, satisfaction
3. Less typos/misclicks

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

1. I assume this might be a very low hanging fruit for the programmers. No need to provide users with a functionality of choosing default emojies of implementing smth new. I'm not familiar with the codebase, but from my experience, I assume this would be a 1 story point straightforward effort.
