I’m trying to disable completely reactions in the message menu.

I know for a fact that it is possible by implementing a custom list component in the `GroupChannelModule` and overriding the `showMessageMenu` method, the issue is that this leads to a bug (I guess) that freezes the ability to scroll. See [this thread](https://community.sendbird.com/t/scroll-stop-working-when-setting-up-a-custom-listcomponent/6272) for reference, btw I think the team should address it.

I’m looking for a workaround, so is anyone aware of other ways to disable reactions?

Hello @AlbertoPvt,

I understand that the customChannellist component freezes the ability scroll, can you please try the below workaround and see if it works.

```auto
// Set view controller's list component directly
let channelVC = SBUGroupChannelViewController(channelURL: {CHANNEL.URL})
channelVC.listComponent = MyAppChannelModuleList

```
