# Emoji reactions API
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
> [Renamed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/409884) from "award emoji" to "emoji reactions" in GitLab 16.0.
An [emoji reaction](../user/emoji_reactions.md) tells a thousand words.
We call GitLab objects that accept emoji reactions awardables. You can react with emoji on the following:
- [Epics](../user/group/epics/index.md) ([API](epics.md)).
- [Issues](../user/project/issues/index.md) ([API](issues.md)).
- [Merge requests](../user/project/merge_requests/index.md) ([API](merge_requests.md)).
- [Snippets](../user/snippets.md) ([API](snippets.md)).
- [Comments](../user/emoji_reactions.md#emoji-reactions-for-comments) ([API](notes.md)).
## Issues, merge requests, and snippets

## Add reactions to comments
Comments (also known as notes) are a sub-resource of issues, merge requests, and snippets.

The examples below describe working with emoji reactions on an issue's comments, but can be
adapted to comments on merge requests and snippets. Therefore, you have to replace
`issue_iid` either with `merge_request_iid` or with the `snippet_id`.
