WhatsApp is developing a new feature. The messaging app owned by Facebook is finally ready to roll out the feature in some capacity.
According to WABetaInfo, the company is now sending message reactions to some Android beta testers running version 2.22.8.3 of the app. According to the leaker, users can select from six different reactions: Like, Love, Laugh, Surprised, Sad, and Thanks.
WABetaInfo notes that this is a limited release for the time being, but that everyone should be able to see message reactions. There’s no word on whether this applies only to group chats, individual chats, or both. Telegram and Slack, for example, provide reactions for both groups and individual chats.
This is just the most recent addition to WhatsApp, and there have been a number of others in the last year or so. A desktop sticker creator, the ability to preview voice notes before sending them, and encrypted backups are among the more notable features and tweaks.
