How to use reactions on WhatsApp

WhatsApp has already launched its new feature which allows you to react to messages sent to you without having to type anything. How are reactions added? How are they deleted?

It’s been weeks since we saw the first images of WhatsApp reactions, a feature that, on the other hand, it takes a long time in other messaging apps like Telegram or even much earlier in iMessage, without forgetting Facebook, where it has existed since the dawn of time. But the wait is over and you can now add a reaction to a post without having to write another post, but add an emoticon and the other party will know if you agree, like it or are surprised.

It is very easy to add a reaction, you just have to click on the message and hold it down for a second until the usual context menu appears, with the difference that now six emoticons will appear at the top, which are the reactions that you can add Click on one of them and it will appear attached at the bottom of the message

You can change the reaction, repeat the operation and choose other emoticons, which will replace the previous one. Also, the notification received by the recipient will vary with the new emoticon. You can also delete it and the notification will disappear

A simple way for whoever sends a message to know the reactions of the recipients, and it also helps avoid the classic repetitive messages that fill many group chats absurdlyalthough people will surely react and send a message as well.
