The feature was already live on Facebook and Instagram, the other Meta platforms.
From Whatsapp began to implement the states as an alternative means of communication within the app, the only form of interaction was responding with a text message. Meta, owner of the platform, tries to modify this functionality through quick reactions with emoji.
This improvement, which has advanced the specialized site WABetainfowill allow the user to reply to a status directly with a preset emoji, similar to how you can reply to Facebook or Instagram Stories.
WhatsApp is registered when someone agrees to view the status of a contact, but if apart from this you want to react without having to write anything, all thanks to the reactions to the messages.
The six emojis that debuted with reactions to WhatsApp messages.
WhatsApp has relatively recently added reactions to messages with which you can reply to a specific text with a series of six preset emojis; although from the “other” button you can choose any of the libraries.
WhatsApp: how to react to states with emojis
The acquisition that WABetainfo shared about reactions to WhatsApp statuses.
As anticipated by WABetainfo, the messaging service will include a new option to reply to a status. After sliding up, in addition to having the box at the bottom to write the text you want, you can quickly reply by tapping one of the eight emojis that appear in the center of the screen.
Tapping one of them will presumably send it as a response to the state creator chat, no more. It is a similar operation to that of quick replies to Instagram and Facebook stories, also owned by Meta.
The novelty was found in the WhatsApp Beta code for Android version 2.22.16.10, although it is not yet active for users.
According to the leak, the reactions in the States would be available both in the versions of WhatsApp Web and Desktop and in its mobile app, it is assumed that these changes would be present in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp: Message reactions add more emojis
The companion emoji, a classic in Argentine chats.
In the week that marks the new World Emoji Day (July 17), people will be able to use any emoji to react to a message on WhatsApp, making conversations much more fun and expressive.
WhatsApp has teamed up with the creators of World Emoji Day, the Emojipedia, to explain some of the most talked about and new emojis you can see in your chats, so you don’t have to ask what they mean.
“Emojis are more popular today than ever and the expansion of WhatsApp Reactions will certainly push their popularity to even greater heights,” said Keith Broni, Editor-in-Chief of Emojipedia.
“With over 3,600 potential new emoji options, we are excited to partner with WhatsApp and use our experience to address some of the most heated debates on understanding emoji.”
Among the novelties is the “Melted Face”, a new and very popular emoji that is usually based on sarcasm. It can be used when you are literally melting away from the summer heat (like the ???? hot face) or when you show a sign of embarrassment, embarrassment or even stupidity – like the upside down ???? smile.
???? The skull commonly expresses figurative death, but today it is used to react to a particularly funny message, which is that it makes you “die laughing”. While it may seem obscure at first glance, it is intentionally used as an alternative to ???? laughter tears and ???? super tempting laughter messages.
???? crying and ???? throwing up may seem negative at first glance, but these melodramatic emojis can be used to express extremely positive reactions: you can ???? cry when you are overwhelmed with joy or hilarity and ???? throw up when you are excited, shocked or amazed that they overtake you
???? The pleading face can be used in many ways, as this emoji can mean “puppy” eyes, as if begging or pleading. It can also represent adoration or being touched by a loving gesture or message, reacting as an expression of thanks.
Eyes ????: This emoji is sometimes used to indicate a hidden meaning behind a message / content; even “suspicious eyes” can be used to convey suspicion or surprise.
✨Stelline: Although this emoji screams positivity and is used by many to show support, love and happiness, others also choose it when they show sarcasm and irony or even exaggerate a word, message or emotion.
✍️ Taking Notes: Often used in a playful way to show that you are listening carefully to someone’s message or “taking notes” of their advice.
Without a doubt, mate ???? will be another that will surely be used extensively by Argentine users when it comes to reacting to messages. After including it in 2019, as part of a campaign carried out by the yerba mate company CBSé, the River Plate infusion emoji has been installed on all social networks.
