Popular messaging platform WhatsApp is often slow to roll out new features. However, unlike Telegram, which adds new features within a few months, it behaves more stable. Finally, WhatsApp is expanding its message reactions.
WhatsApp will let you react with whatever emoji you want
WhatsApp has made several upgrades so far, such as sending files up to 2GB, adding 512 contacts in a group, and Communities. Now, the company is enhancing the messaging experience even more. In May, the company rolled out WhatsApp message reactions that allow users to better express themselves.
However, there is a limit of only six emojis for the reaction. Now WhatsApp is working to remove this limit. This was detected by WABetaInfo. According to this determination, the company will allow you to use any emoji as a reaction.
If you have the latest beta version of WhatsApp installed, there is a new + sign when you press and hold your message. When you tap on this sign, you will be able to choose one of hundreds of emoji. This means more options for expressing yourself.
This feature, which is still under development, has not even been offered to WhatsApp beta testers. When Zuckerberg first announced the feature, their reaction was ridiculed by the addition of the new emoticons. This shows that adding new emoticons is not a surprise.
Telegram has 17 emoji for reactions. For additional reactions, it is necessary to subscribe to Telegram Premium. Many users find this number of emoji sufficient. However, WhatsApp will have more advantages over Telegram with its new step.
In addition to all these, WhatsApp is also doing different studies for reactions. One of these will make it easier to see who reacts to what to a photo or video. For now, you can only see who is reacting and what they are reacting to without having to open the album, but it is not possible to see the media itself.
