After months of testing, it seems that the WhatsApp emoji reactions feature is now rolling out for all its Android, iOS, Web and Desktop users across the globe. 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 starting to get emoji reactions functionality, and it may take up to seven days for everyone to receive the feature in the latest stable version of WhatsApp. 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.

The first step involves long pressing the message that you’ve already reacted to, and the second step involves tapping the emoji you reacted with to remove it.
