REACTION INFO
In the article about the previous beta update, the WhatsApp Desktop beta 2.2207.0 update, we explained that WhatsApp is finally working on message reactions for a future update. Today, there are further details about the development of the feature:
As you can see in this screenshot, it will be possible to view who reacted to incoming and outgoing messages. WhatsApp has developed an interface that groups reactions, so you can see the list of all people that have reacted to a message by using the same reaction. This has been already announced to be under development on WhatsApp beta for iOS and WhatsApp beta for Android.
We explained that the option to react to messages is under development, and this is not changed yet. When there is news, there will be another article on this website.
