After rolling out the 'Emoji Reaction' or 'Message Reaction' feature last May, this time the feature has been expanded to WhatsApp. In fact, since its launch, users have only been able to react or respond to messages using six emojis - Like, Love, Laugh, Surprised, Sad, and Thanks. Could. But now that the company has brought a new update to increase the number of reaction emojis, users will be happy with it, as well as WhatsApp's rival Telegram seems to be behind!
According to a recent report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp's Android and iOS beta users will now be able to use the 'Message Reaction' feature using any emoji. In this case, the reaction tray will have the opportunity to use all the other emojis on the keyboard along with the initial six emojis.
Android Beta (version 2.22.15.6 and 2.22.15.8) and iOS beta (version 22.14.0.61) users will be able to enjoy this new feature for the time being, the report added. The updated 'Message Reaction' feature will be available to all users later. In this context, I would like to say that some members of our TechGap, i.e. Android beta users of WhatsApp (version 2.22.15.8) have already seen it.
How to react to all emoji on WhatsApp
1. For this, first you have to long-press any message in the chat as before.
2. This will show a '+' (plus) icon next to the first six emojis in the reaction tray.
