After months of testing, WhatsApp has started rolling out emoji reactions feature for its Android, iOS, Web, and Desktop users worldwide. The feature is now available to all users after extensive testing. Previously this feature was available to quite-a-few WhatsApp beta tester users to determine whether it works flawlessly or not.
Today, more people are beginning to receive emoji reactions on WhatsApp. It could take up to seven days for everyone to get the feature in the latest stable version of the app. In addition, the emoji reactions feature does not require installing the beta version.
The Emoji Reaction Feature enables you to react instantly to messages in personal and group chats with emojis – Like (thumbs up), Love (red heart), Laugh (face with tears of joy), Surprise (face with open mouth), Sad (crying face) and Thanks (Folded Hands). At the moment, there are only six emojis in this feature. In subsequent updates, you will be provided with all other emoji options.
