Mobile version of GitHub.com doesn't allow us to see who reacted to a comment

I originally shared this in a tweet (ref) but figured I would officially raise it here too:

As far as ‘papercut problems’ go, it would be so awesome if Github allowed a ‘long tap’ on issue reaction emoji’s to display the users who reacted. Don’t think it’s possible to get this info on mobile web view at all currently.

The desired outcome would be that on mobile, by tapping and holding (aka: 'long tap') on the 'emoji reactions' section on a comment, I would be able to see the 'onhover' tooltip that I can currently get on desktop, and see who reacted:

Note that I also raised this directly with support in 🔒 https://support.github.com/ticket/personal/0/1171585 and received the following reply:

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! Seeing who and how they reacted on an issue is possible in the mobile app, but the behaviour differs slightly from the web version; you only need to press and hold on to any reaction left in the comment.

Huh. No, it doesn't. That's what it intuitively seemed like it should do, so I've been trying it. Then Googling it led me here.

[HalfWhitt]

Wait, that comment says you can do that in the mobile app. I'm talking about in a web browser.

@alcere do you know the status of that internal ticket you mentioned?

I'm using a mobile web browser right now and it works lol

[HalfWhitt]

Well then what the heck. 🤔

Guess I'd better file a bug report then. Not working for me in either Chrome or Safari on iOS.

[markcellus]

Yeah may be ios because im on Brave on Android. Also works on Chrome Android.
