Hi @aleksandr.bolshakov, it looks like maybe the order of the callback parameters is reversed. The “error” you received is actually a successful response.

Is this the only function that returns results in this order? Meaning its structured as (event, err) but is returned (err, event)?

Hi, @Tyler  
may be but I used it as documentaion says

```auto
from /sendbird/SendBird.d.ts:
 
 type reactionEventCallback = (event: ReactionEvent, error: SendBirdError) => void;

```

and reactions array from message remains empty

Hi @aleksandr.bolshakov,

My apologies for my delayed response. I totally understand that you followed the documentation. Ideally I’m just checking to see if you get the correct information if you flip them. I tested this in my own sample application and I was getting the correct order in a non React-Native environment so I need to test in React Native.

Hi @aleksandr.bolshakov,

Looks like I’ll need to do some reproducing of the issue in my own environment. One thing I might suggest, is inspecting the network request that is being sent to see if it actually includes the data you’re expecting. I’ll report back once I’ve had a chance to try and reproduce this.

Just wanted to touch base on this topic. I was able to reproduce this in React-Native and am currently working with our Engineering team to understand what is going on.

Hey @aleksandr.bolshakov,

Just wanted to touch base on this. Are you calling `sb.setErrorFirstCallback(true)` anywhere? I went back and look at our sample, and it is setting that which is why I was able to reproduce this. By removing it, I’m no longer able to reproduce this issue.

Hi @Tyler !  
Thank you for your help!

1. I sending reaction,got no error and reactionEvent:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sendbird/original/2X/d/dd3ca32fed09343f8617a678c6b8bf66e168fc73.png)
2. call ` message.applyReactionEvent(reactionEvent);`
3. but when I refetching messages, at this message `rections` array sill empty

Hi @aleksandr.bolshakov,

Apologize for my delayed response. When you generate your listQuery, are you passing in `includeReaction = true`?

An example like:

```auto
const listQuery = groupChannel.createPreviousMessageListQuery();
listQuery.limit = LIMIT;
listQuery.reverse = REVERSE;
listQuery.includeReaction = true; // Retrieve a list of messages along with their reactions.

```

Hi @aleksandr.bolshakov,

Can you share with me your entire createPreviousMessageListQuery? Also, can you console it out as well and confirm that it is in fact being set to true?

@aleksandr.bolshakov,

I’m able to reproduce this behavior in my own application. When I react to a message, I can see the message when I fetch the message list so long as `includeReactions` is true.

Is this occurring in a production app or staging app?

For transparency sake here is my test:

```auto
const params = new sendbird.MessageListParams();
    params.isInclusive = true;
    params.includeReactions = true;
    channel.getMessagesByMessageId(1915615880, params, (messages, error) => {
      if (error) {
        console.error('WE ERRORED ON THIS', error);
      } else {
        console.log('-----------------------------');
        console.log(JSON.stringify(messages[0], null, 2));
        console.log('-----------------------------');
      }
    });

```

Which outputs:

```auto

Issue solved!  
Thanks!  
Also  
`params.includeReactions = true;`  
should be added to the  
`getMessagesByMessageId`
