WhatsApp is finally catching up with platforms like Twitter, Signal, Facebook Messenger and Slack and will be bringing message reactions.
Message reactions let you react to messages with emojis.
You can double-tap a message to bring up the emoji reactions and this feature is rolling out to beta testers before being available to the public.
You’ll need to run on the latest WhatsApp version when this feature launches.
The update is already available on the Beta App as seen by this screenshot.
The Facebook-owned platform has been busy this year, testing and announcing new features for users on WhatsApp including chat transfers between iOS and Android, new Android emojis, the ability to send images that nuke after a single view, multidevice support, among others.
