A while ago, we started getting information about the new response system to messages from beta versions of WhatsApp. Basically, the WhatsApp team aimed to stop the reactions of messages from limiting to the six emojis used in the initial rollout of the feature, and allow to react with any available emoji. It remained to wait for the application to decide to distribute this functionality for everyone, and this has already happened.

The ability to react to any message with any emoji including poop emoji (bad joke) is now official for all users and depends only on the updated app. The information comes from Mark Zuckerberg himself.removes any possible doubt about its authenticity. Therefore, whether the feature will already arrive depends on its global rollout in all regions.

Your imagination (and your emoji library) is the limit

Regarding the version that most users currently have, WhatsApp only allows you to react to messages with a limited number of emojis. Specifically, we currently have only six. And they are the 👍, ❤️, 😂, 😯, 😢 and 🙏 emojis. But that will change very soon. The time it takes for functionality to spread across the planet.

The new way to work with reactions was sought by WABetaInfo weeks ago, as it appeared in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, but now Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed that it’s released for all users of the platform. And this implies newly expanded reactions They will be available for both WhatsApp for iOS users and Android users.

The new function, as we mentioned earlier, allows us to react to the messages of our chats with any emoji that comes to mind. Just like sending an emoji from our library as an individual message, we can choose any emoji to react. The only requirement would be for it to exist and be available in our app. Or if we use the one included in our emoji keyboard.

As we commented, the function has already been published and It’s only a matter of time before it reaches all users WhatsApp is scattered all over the planet. And they are several. It will be a matter of checking the app regularly because we may have already enabled them and not noticed it. React with imagination.
