WhatsApp reactions feature is finally here on Android version 2.22.10.74 and iOS version 22.9.76. This feature allows users to quickly react with an emoji to a note, just like Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and iMessage.
The meta-owned messaging platform launched this message reaction on 5th May, and since then, the feature has been rolling out to WhatsApp users around the world. In the state post, WhatsApp said, “we’re excited to share those emoji reactions are available these days on the newest version of the app. Reactions are fun and engaging, and they reduce overload in groups too. We’ll continue improving them by adding an even broader range of expressions in the future.”
The emoji reaction can be obtained across all Android, iOS, and desktop users.
