In particular, with this beta release also in the desktop client the possibility to manage notifications for reactions, one of the new functions that should be made available to all users soon, is included in the settings menu dedicated to notifications.
Once message reactions are implemented, users will be given the option to take advantage of a new setting that allows you to disable all notifications when this type of response is received.
