Whtasapp will soon allow users to react to messages received with emojis. The Meta-owned instant messaging platform like Facebook and Messenger will give an option to react. This new feature is to be rolled out for both iOS and Android users.

The WhatsApp reaction feature will make the chat more interactive. Reports suggest that only limited emojis, about six, would be available for the WhatsApp users. The roll out has not started yet but it is expected to land soon.

Reports suggest that whatsApp tracker, WABetaInfo, shared the screenshots of the features. WhatsApp is readying message reactions (secured by end-to-end encryption) in a new upcoming update of WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS.

WhatsApp has been developing the new feature for long time and now it is almost in the final stages, ready for roll out

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also working to modify the time limit to delete a message for everyone. This feature is for the group admins. WhatsApp will allow two days and 12 hours to delete a message in the group if the user is admin.

Recently, whatsapp propelled a new feature that would allow group admins on whatsapp to delete messages for other members of the group as well.

The group deletes messages feature allows WhatsApp group admins to remove illicit or obscene content from group immediately. It will also allow admins to remove content portraying fake information.

The group feature works in a similar manner as the delete for everyone feature. To recall, the delete for everyone feature was officially launched last year. The feature lets users in a private chat delete messages sent by mistake for the sender and themselves.

WhatsApp has been developing the new feature for long time and now it is almost in the final stages, ready for roll out.
