You will be able to unlock your Reactions ability on Day 3 while exploring your Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You will hear a random NPC villager calling out your name as you walk past them. Simply go up to that villager and talk to them. In our case, this villager was Phoebe.
During your conversation with the NPC, the villager will ask you if you have been told about Reactions and will then display those reactions, such as joy, and describe them to you.
The villager will also guide you on how you can access the reactions by simply pressing the XR button in ACNH. At the end of the conversation that specific villager will ask you to meet other villagers so that you can learn about other reactions as well. Once your conversation ends you will be able to use Reactions in Animal Crossing New Horizons to express your feelings.
You can open the Reactions menu and there you will notice that you have access to 4 reactions at the start of your adventure. These will include Joy, Delight, Geeting, and Surprise. Moreover, the 2.0 Update for ACNH added 11 additional Reactions for you to experience and use.
You can purchase event-related reactions from the Nook Stop. If you don’t have the required amount of Nook Miles to purchase these reactions you can always indulge in other activities such as Group Stretching. This way, you will be able to learn newer reactions at the start of your adventure.How to use Reactions in ACNH
