is there away to disable reactions to emails
It's on the roadmap, supposedly starting next month:
VNJoe, Absolutely agree, but I was offering a solution in the meantime: make them abide by their documentation. Hopefully the roadmap feature is still on track for release in June, but I'd personally consider opening a ticket anyway, in case the rollout gets delayed.

Insert your admin UPN below and run
# Connect to Exchange Online
Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName <email address removed for privacy reasons> -ShowProgress $true
# Define the custom header and its value
$CustomHeaderName = "x-ms-reactions"
$CustomHeaderValue = "disallow"$RulePriority = 1
# Create the mail flow rule
New-TransportRule -Name "Drop Reactions" -SetHeaderName $CustomHeaderName -SetHeaderValue $CustomHeaderValue -Priority $RulePriority
# Disconnect from Exchange Online
Disconnect-ExchangeOnline -Confirm:$falseCareful with this.
It disables the notification side but not the sending side.
Sending user still sees that they sent the Reaction, but recipient never receives it.
- No, you're great, thanks for sharing this! I'm planning on requesting it for all my customers who are complaining about these meaningless social media gags on a business system, hopefully there's a PowerShell command to run to disable it.
- Add this is as a rule to all your tenants for all messages in and out (put it in the header of all messages)
x-ms-reactions: disallow
