WhatsApp Tests feature that allows you to reply to messages with any emoji

The The WhatsApp It is slowly launching the feature that allows users to reply to messages. The news was announced in January of this year, however, it seems that the company really wants to improve the tool.

According to WABetaInfo, there is a new update (2.22.10.9) for the app by Google Play Beta Program which releases more reactions/emojis to the users.

Currently the plus sign, heart, crying laughter, fear, shedding tears and palms together are available. New reaction options should be released to messenger testers soon.

More emoji reactions on WhatsApp

The new version has a “+” button that allows you to include or select any emoji available on the keyboard. In this sense, as usual, the most used emojis are likely to be among the first options.

However, it is important to note that the novelty The WhatsApp It is not an innovation. Twitter and Telegram, for example, already own the functionality. However, the launch of the messenger will facilitate communication between users.

As of now, there is no specific date for the launch of the + feedback feature on the platform.
