Reactions to messages, one of the most anticipated features for years.
One of the big news that WhatsApp introduced this year was that it allows react with emojis to messages. The advantage is a quick response, without resorting to words. Its use spread rapidly, but the supply was insufficient. And its first update, in the form of more emoji optionsis coming.
The information comes through a new leak from WABetaInfo, which indicates that WhatsApp has begun to implement the ability to do so. react to a message with multiple options.
This novelty is part of the beta version of WhatsApp for Android (2.22.15.6, 2.22.15.7) and the beta version of WhatsApp for iOS (22.14.0.71), which is in full distribution.
Months ago it was announced the development of a new version of the beta messages of WhatsApp for Android and iOS, which will allow you to react to messages using any emoji available on the keyboard.
As a result, reactions will not only appear in chats, but can also be customized in the messaging app settings.
What’s new is that now all emoji options are added to react to a message. What allows you to search the one that suits you best and add it to your favorites. In this way the possibilities of customization are increased,
The initial feature supported six emojis: thumbs up, heart, smiley face, surprise face, crying face, and folded hands. Now at the bottom of the list the “+” symbol appears. When you click, everything available is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
To find out if the feature is already enabled in the WhatsApp account, when you react to a message, if you see a new icon more right inside the reaction bar, it means you can already use it.
WhatsApp plans to extend the functionality to more beta testers in the coming weeks: the same thing happened when the company released the first version. Estimates are that in a month it will be ready for distribution.
WhatsApp: what is “Invisible mode”
The most popular mobile messenger, WhatsApp, is preparing another function requested by its more than 2,000 million users: the so-called “stealth mode”. This novelty will be useful for the user who uses the e service you want to go unnoticed among your contacts always.
Currently the messaging app allows you to hide the last connection time, but not the “online” registration, and the latter is what WhatsApp will allow you to hide even in the not too distant future, according to WABetaInfo, the portal that charged with revealing the news of the messenger.
Apparently and according to the leak, the WhatsApp user will be able to adjust the parameter from the application settings.
However, the novelty works a little differently than expected from the start. There won’t be an option that allows this directly hide our status line in WhatsApp, but the option will depend on another one that will appear just above.
There will be two options for this mode that will allow you to hide if you are online on WhatsApp, one is called “everyone” and the other “like last seen”.
