To react with emojis, you need to first double-tap on the messages. By default, you will be able to react with a heart emoji to the messages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to add any other emoji apart from the heart emoji, then press and hold the message. Now, you will see a list of emojis appearing under the message. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the emoji that you want to react with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_Default_Heart_Emoji_on_Instagram\"><\/span><b>How to Change Default Heart Emoji on Instagram?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you are not sure how to change the default heart emoji on Instagram, follow the steps below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, hold the fingers on the direct message.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, from the list of emojis appearing under the message, tap and hold the heart emoji.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, select the emoji that you would like to replace the heart emoji with.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you select the emoji, select \u2018Done\u2019.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Customize_The_Instagram_Emojis\"><\/span><b>How to Customize The Instagram Emojis?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many emojis available in the keyboard of your mobile device.
