WhatsApp, the Meta-owned encrypted messaging service that boasts over two billion users worldwide<\/a>, is adding emoji reactions in beta on Android. WABetaInfo<\/em><\/a>, a reliable source of upcoming WhatsApp features, reports that emoji reactions have started appearing in beta version 2.22.8.3 of the service\u2019s Android app, giving users a quick and easy way to respond to incoming messages.<\/p>\n

With a long-press of a received message, the feature lets users react with one of six emoji: thumbs up, heart, crying, laugher, shocked face, or folded hands<\/a> (usually taken to mean \u201cthank you\u201d). WhatsApp appears to be rolling out the feature on Android in phases, and we were unable to get it to appear ourselves.<\/p>\n

Alongside its appearance on Android, there are signs that emoji reactions are also on the way for the service\u2019s iOS and desktop applications. As of early January<\/a> WhatsApp\u2019s beta app on iOS has had a settings toggle to control \u201cReaction Notifications,\u201d and a similar setting appeared in the beta version of the desktop app<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Emoji reactions have become commonplace across other messaging services like iMessage, Facebook Messenger<\/a>, Google\u2019s Messages app<\/a>, and even Twitter DMs<\/a>. Now, finally, one of the world\u2019s most popular messaging apps is getting in on the action. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
