New Delhi: According to a report by the WhatsApp watchdog, WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned messaging app has been working on giving users the ability to send emoji reactions for Status updates. It will be similar to how emoji reactions work on Instagram. You see a Status, which is WhatsApp’s term for Stories, but instead of just the text box, you might also see emojis above the box.
WhatsApp may call it “Quick Reactions” and the emojis that may be available as a part of it include folded hands, claps, party popper, and heart.
The screenshot shared by the publication shows the emojis will sit right above the text box and tapping on one will send your reaction to the particular Status. However, it is not clear if users will be able to add or replace emojis to this set.
