Facebook-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp might introduce quick message reactions in future updates. The feature has been seen on other social media platforms owned by WhatsApp’s parent – Messenger and Instagram.
WhatsApp is expected to launch the feature on all platforms – Android, iOS and desktop, reported WABetaInfo, a portal that tracks developments on the messaging application. Quick message reactions will allow users to select from a list of emojis to react to messages received.
The feature is still under development and will be released for beta testers in a coming update, WABetaInfo added.
