If last week we saw how WhatsApp is testing its global note reader now we see how the popular email client is testing another novelty highly requested by users: the reactions.
After several months of development, we see how WhatsApp has already started testing reactions through its latest beta, but this new feature was only released for a small number of beta testers.
So are the reactions of WhatsApp
WhatsApp’s reactions are no mystery to users who already use other applications such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram or Google Messages, since the operation is similar to that which we were able to test a few weeks ago.
To react to a messagephoto, video or audio we will have to make a long press to select it. After activation, the options menu will appear above the selected message six reactions (I like it, I adore it, it amuses me, it surprises me, it saddens me and I pray/beg).
When selecting a reaction, it will appear in the lower right part of the message and you can only react to a message with one reaction, but you can change the reaction as many times as you want. sender being warned by a notification every time we react to it again. your messages. It looks like reactions will only be available for private chats at this time.
It is expected that in future versions of WhatsApp Beta reactions will start to reach more users until they are available for all testers. Then the reactions will make the jump all over the world thanks to its stable version.
