MyChat Client
[+] (12.04.2026) (win32) option "Set quick reaction via double-click on a message".

By default, this option is enabled. Double-clicking on a field of any message sets a "Thumbs up" reaction automatically.

[+] (12.04.2026) (win32) technology to set quick reactions on the last sent message via short text messages like "+" / "++", "-" / "--", "*", etc.

This option is in the chat's settings.

By default, it is enabled. Now, to set a reaction:

...you do not have to target a message in the chat, but simply send a short text message:

Quick text reactions

A short reaction must be the only message content. If there are additional characters or spaces at the beginning or end of a message, then this is a regular message.

The list of short texts is approximate. If you have better suggestions, please write us, and we will try them.

MyChat Server
[*] (19.04.2026) finished preliminary resolution detection for BMP, TIFF, PSD, PCX, and TGA images to generate preview thumbnails in chat.

The problem is complex. If you send an image whose size is bigger than 5K resolution, or the file's physical size is large (10 megabytes or more), then the server won't make a preview for such an image but will send it in the chat as a file.

It looks like this:

The first option is that the server displays a default image; the tooltip next to a cursor displays the resolution of the original image. The second option is just a file and its physical size on the disk.
