Something changed about reactions - or is it only my problem?

[RoyalChick]

Suddenly I am having trouble reacting to posts. Instead of letting me choose the various reactions it boots me immediately to a screen asking me if I want to 'confirm' like. Only like. And what a pain to have a separate confirm screen.
I have looked in my preferences in my account in case I missed something. I have also deleted the app and re-downloaded it. But now the issue has also appeared when I am on my PC on the web version.
Anything I can do to get back how it used to be?

Update. Shortly after posting this the problem disappeared on the web version on my PC. But I still have the issue in the app (iPhone). I mostly use the App on my phone so it is really frustrating.

It happens very rarely. Try clearing your phones history and cache then rebooting it. You'd be better off using the browser on your phone instead of the Apple version app.

Thanks. The problem is now back on the web version. How do I clear the phone's history and cache?

Thanks. Yes I do keep it updated. I already rebooted both phone and PC and now the problem is intermittent on both.
I will read the link on clearing cache next.

Oh. That is about clearing Safari cookies. But that doesn’t apply to the app does it?

I'm having the same problem this afternoon and eve. Sometimes I can only add a like and sometimes I can add other reactions. Very intermittent. I'm using an android phone.
