The most popular Messenger is missing a key feature when compared to similar services. Anyone who wants to react to a message on Signal or Facebook Messenger can do so with the help of Reaction emojis, without having to send a standalone message.
This is an extremely practical function, especially in group chats, because the clarity of the chat is maintained. This Reaction feature is not yet available on WhatsApp. Here, a separate message has to be composed for each reaction – even if it is only a thumbs-up emoji.
WhatsApp is getting Reaction emojis
However, this is supposed to change soon: Back in September, it became known that WhatsApp was working on such a Reaction feature. At that time, the blog WABetaInfo, which specializes in WhatsApp, published a screenshot of this feature.
Now, the same feature has reappeared in a publicly available beta version of the messenger, namely in version 22.2.72 for iOS devices. According to a report from WABetaInfo, this indicates that the Reaction feature is ready and will soon be distributed to more and more WhatsApp users.
Reactions visible to all
The selection of Reaction emojis should not be limited. According to the report, all possible emojis are available to WhatsApp users as a reaction to a message.
How someone reacted to a particular message is visible to all members in a group chat. The Reaction emojis can also be deactivated, as can be seen in a screenshot.
