The application’s features tracker website WABetaInfo first released the details of beta-WhatsApp message reactions for WhatsApp desktop. According to the platform, the Meta-owned application is working on the feature, which is not available for beta testers as it is still under development. A similar update came out in August 2021, citing that WhatsApp has been reportedly developing the feature for Android and iOS for months, and glimpses of the feature were also surfaced online.
The screenshot released by WABetaInfo shows the message reaction button next to a message in a chat, using an emoji icon on WhatsApp Desktop beta. The button may be revealed only when moving the cursor over a message. On clicking, it will display a row of six emoji, which can be selected to react to the message. The screenshot shows a thumbs up, red heart, face with tears of joy, shocked face, crying face, and folded hands emoji as reaction icons.
WhatsApp May Provide Option to Edit Status Update Audience
In another development, WhatsApp seems to be working on a provision to edit the recipients of status updates. The feature would enable the users to specify the audience for each status update.
