WhatsApp recently introduced message reactions and it didn’t take long for rumors to hint at a possible update, which will allow people to react to messages with any emoji. The messaging platform even began beta-testing the same and as one would expect, this ability is now rolling out to everyone. Here are the details.
Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, via a recent Facebook post, announced that it is rolling out the ability to react to a message with any emoji (that your keyboard supports) you like. This will be similar to how one can react to DMs on Instagram.
Other noteworthy points suggest that reactions to disappearing messages will also disappear and the number of reactions to a message can’t be hidden. Plus, if you react to a message and decide to delete it, another person would still be able to see the emoji reaction.
