As spotted by WABetaInfo, version 22.2.72 of WhatsApp beta
for iOS brings new settings to manage notifications for reactions, although
it’s still impossible to react to messages at the time being.
A few months ago, the publication was able to preview this
new option in settings, but now, WhatsApp is rolling it out for all beta
testers. Alongside the ability to enable or disable notifications for messages
and group chats, the app will let you choose whether or not to receive
notifications for reactions.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will release this feature
very soon, and although you can’t react to messages right now, just to have
this option available in settings means the app is closer than ever to launch
this feature.
The publication reveals that users will be able to “react
to a specific message once and reactions are limited to six emojis. Currently,
the figures available are “Like,” “Love,” “Laugh,” “Suprised,” “Sad,” and
“Thanks.” As of now, it’s unclear whether WhatsApp will make any emoji
available as a reaction, as Facebook now does with Instagram, or if it’s going
to be more limited the way Twitter is also working with reactions.
Users will also be able to see all reactions to a message in
two different tabs: “All” and also with the specific emoji used, which means
users can click on the figure to see everyone in a group chat that reacted to a
message.
We’ll let you know once reactions are available to all
users. What do you think of this new function? Share your thoughts in the
