Message reactions are popular in social apps such as Instagram, Skype, Discord and more, but it is not a part of WhatsApp till now. WhatsApp is testing the feature in its latest beta version.
The feature was spotted by a tech blog WABeta Info, the blog that spots upcoming WhatsApp features before they are hit the market and users. The most recent latest beta version of WhatsApp reveals that the company is testing process of message reactions with a very small circle of users.
Just like other apps, this feature will let you quickly react to a message using emojis. Long-press a message and you’ll see a row of emojis to instantly react with one instead of having to quote a reply.
Once the feature reach the users , they’ll need to have the latest version of WhatsApp to use it. If not, you’ll see the message shown in the image below.
The above screenshot was shared by an unknown person who saw the message, which was clearly shows that it was just a testing phase of the feature.
It is not decided by the Facebook company when they gonna launch this feature and the fact that it’s currently in testing doesn’t reveal much either. This is because WhatsApp has often tested features publicly long before they are ready for release, so hang tight as it could possibly take months to become official.
