A few months ago, WhatsApp rolled out a new feature that allowed users to react to messages shared on the app. The app provided only 6 emojis to react to messages at that time.
The new Message Reaction feature of WhatsApp is excellent and very similar to the one on Messenger and Instagram. We are talking about message reaction because an update has been rolled out to the WhatsApp app that allows you to use any emoji as Message Reaction.
The ability to use any emoji as a message reaction was previously seen on the WhatsApp beta version, but now it’s also rolled out to the stable version. So, if you are a WhatsApp user, you can now update the app and react to messages with any emoji.
