Visible menu and click on message to choose options

I preferred the visible options under a sent message so I immediately know where to click because on mobile version, it's difficult to find the right place to click to make it appear. Apparently, the zone is confined to the bottom of the message. When I intuitively tap on someone else's message to make the menu appear (on text zone) it doesn't do anything and just highlight the text I'm tapping =/ so I think keeping the menu visible under sent messages was better and more practical =) also I'm sure that if the reaction option is hidden, nobody (zoomers lol) will think about it and we will have messages like "agree" etc. XD

So I'm trying to repeat this issue but I can't. For me, a tap on any part of the message reveals the message options. This may be an issue with the press length, I'll look into it.

For me it only appears when I tap on a specific area under the message. If I tap on the message, it just automatically highlights a word ;)

I wasn't able to replicate the issue. On my phone (Android, both with Firefox/Chrome) tapping anywhere on the message reveals the options. Either way, I added an option to always show the message controls (for the mobile and desktop interface, each separately) in the user settings.

Well that's just perfect! =D

Oh yeah, it feels way better that way! You know how I love visible buttons. I need to know where I'm at :p
