@Michael_Quinlan,

If chat history is disabled, it means that its not intended for the user to access any messages prior to them joining. This means that they should not be able to react or fetch a message that was sent prior to them joining the room. If you want to allow a user to do this, you’ll need to enable this on the Dashboard in the settings.

Please note that this setting is not retroactive and only applies to users who join channels AFTER the setting has been enabled.
