Reacting to messages is something we usually do when we take a walk on Facebook. It is a very simple method that prevents us from thinking about writing something on someone else’s wall and that, many times, is often misinterpreted, with the consequent mess that it entails at the level of social reputation. So choose an emoticon, respond and that’s it. Engagement completed with your friend or family member.
At WhatsApp at the moment we do not have such a tool, but we could count on it soon if the ones announced by WABetaInfo becomes a reality in the coming months. Specifically something similar to what we can do on Mark Zuckerberg’s social network and that it could help groups with a lot of movement of participants to be somewhat more relaxed, without so much back and forth of comments, reactions and responses that are sometimes redundant.
Smile at a message, it’s easy
What WABetaInfo just revealed is that Android beta versions are already beginning to allow adding reactions with emoticons to texts, photos, videos, GIFs, etc., in such a way that the answers are compressed in a much more rational way. Instead of receiving the famous “+1” one after the other in talks with dozens of members, we will begin to perceive the conversation as more relaxed and in the style of others. apps of success as Discord.

From the web They have shown the screen (which you have just above) that appears to users when they receive a reaction to one of their comments and they do not have the compatible version. When this situation occurs, WhatsApp advises us to install the build more recent to be able to see what they have commented on what we have written. A method that Facebook has already used in other new functions such as video calls or VoIP communications themselves.
As always with these WhatsApp changes, there is no set date to enjoy these reactions so we must put them in the queue of all those that are pending. That they are not few. Surely, the most important in the making is to be able to use our account in the messaging app on more than one device, closely followed by the changes that are expected in the interface, the transfer of chats from iOS to Android, and vice versa, or the new limits to delete messages at a glance. Which one do you think will come first?
