Communication services are evolving with the latest trends. WhatsApp app A good example of this and it is constantly enriched with new functions to provide its users with better communication.

This time, Mark Zuckerberg announced on Facebook the posting of an expected functionality for WhatsApp: reactions to messages.

Interact with emoji

This is a function that can be found on most services today such as Twitter or Discord and of course Facebook. It allows you to add an interaction emoji directly to a message without replacing a new message. This makes it possible to make the conversation more fluid and give more meaning to the written word since sometimes it is difficult to copy feelings.

WhatsApp limits the choice of reactions at the moment to only 6 emojis. Platforms like Slack or Discord allow you to choose between all available emojis, even custom ones offered by servers. We know that Meta would like to combine its different messaging services What are Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp. Gold Instagram allows interaction with all user keyboard emojis. We can imagine that in the future the service will offer all the emojis available in the Unicode standard used by all devices.

The new version of WhatsApp is being rolled out. You should soon be able to access the new feature if you haven’t done so yet. It also includes the ability to send files up to 2GB instead of just 100MB, and they are always end-to-end encrypted.
