One of the functions that has attracted the most attention in WhatsApp is on its way to materializing for all users: after the appearance of the settings, reactions to the messages have already been made public. We can mark any of the messages in the chats with up to six Emojis; just as it happens in Telegram or Messenger, for example.
Step by step, the developers of WhatsApp are renewing the application so that it is not too far away in terms of functions. Being Telegram in the competition is difficult, there is no update of that app that does not include a torrent of improvements. However, WhatsApp has the most important thing left over: users. They will be able to declare emotions without the need to write them or attach an Emoji.
Six Emojis as reaction and icon under each message
WhatsApp is developing the novelty, as well as other functions that will arrive in 2022 once they pass the testing process. Today we have learned that WhatsApp will increase the self-destruction rates of messages, for example. Y reactions aspire to complete the cast of chat functions; along with the voice notes and the Emojis themselves.
Since responding with an “OK,” like, or love blurs the conversation, even if an Emoji or sticker is attached, mark the particular message with a reaction makes it easier for the person who sent the text to be aware. It doesn’t take much to achieve that effect, just six Emojis: WhatsApp reactions include thumbs up, heart, tearful laughter, surprise, sad face and prayer.
as revealed WaBetaInfoWhatsApp reactions will allow you to reply to messages without having to write text, record audio or attach an Emoji/sticker/Gif. These reactions will be end-to-end encrypted, just like the rest of the content of the chats. And it is enough to press and hold on the specific message so that the menu for choosing reactions jumps.
WhatsApp will include these reactions in the next Android and iPhone beta, so says WaBetaInfo. And it will surely reach all users a few weeks later, once the recent improvements are included in a stable update. Not that they add much to the conversation, but they are very helpful to mark something as understood in less than a second.
