WhatsApp rolls out message reaction feature

Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp is rolling out a message reactions feature for Android users, WABetainfo reported Tuesday.

The WhatsApp news tracker said that WhatsApp is currently releasing the feature to certain beta testers on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.8.3.

The users will have options of six reactions — like, love, laugh, surprised, sad and thanks.

According to WABetainfo, this update was in the pipeline as the messaging platform has rolled out the ability to manage reaction notifications on WhatsApp beta for iOS and WhatsApp Desktop beta.

However, for now, only a few users will be able to use this feature; while others will have to wait for a future update.
