WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo disclosed that the Meta-owned subsidiary is now pushing out message reactions to some Android beta testers running version 2.22.8.3 of the app.
According to the source, users can choose from six reactions, namely Like, Love, Laugh, Surprised, Sad, and Thanks.
“Unfortunately, this looks like a very small test so only certain beta testers are able to react to messages, but everyone is now able to see message reactions,” WABetaInfo stated.
This will be the latest feature coming to WhatsApp and more functionalities are being added. Some notable features are sticker creator on desktop platform, preview of voice notes before sending, and encrypted backups.
