WhatsApp’s all-emoji Message Reactions feature availability
As per a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp users who are running the beta versions 22.14.0.71 on iOS and 2.22.15.6 on Android will be able to use all the available emojis to react to a message. However, the report mentions that users who can’t find the new addition have to be patient as it is a “server-side, gradual rollout.” The report also states that WhatsApp has not made any official announcement regarding the release of this upgrade to Message Reactions on a broader scale. Meanwhile, if everything goes as intended, WhatsApp might release this new addition in the upcoming weeks, the report claims.
How will WhatsApp’s all-emoji Message Reactions feature work
Presently, WhatsApp users have to press and hold a message to get the default emoji reactions menu. However, the all-emoji feature will add a new plus (+) icon to that list. On clicking the new icon, users will get access to the entire emoji library where they can use any one of them to react to a message. Moreover, users will also be able to choose skin tone variations available for some specific emojis.
Importance of WhatsApp’s all-emoji Message Reactions feature
The default emoji reactions that are currently available are “too limited in terms of expressing ourselves without sending a dedicated message/reply,” reports XDA Developers. Users can easily and creatively acknowledge WhatsApp messages without typing a reply, as this new addition will help them to choose any emoji from the current library. The report also mentions that Telegram might release this feature as a Premium addition for its paid users in future.
