Lately, WhatsApp has introduced many useful and highly requested features like being able to use the messaging app on other devices without the primary smartphone being online, hiding last seen from specific contacts, and many more. And now, the app might be getting a Message Reaction feature.
According to a new report by WABetaInfo, the latest beta version of the app on iOS reveals that a new Message reaction feature could be arriving soon. The tipster revealed a screenshot showcasing a new Reactions Notifications toggle that is present in the settings menu of version 22.2.72 of WhatsApp on iOS.
The feature is expected to be similar to the reaction features already found in the Meta-owned Instagram and Facebook apps. Mark Zuckerberg has already revealed his ambition to merge the messaging system of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Meta has already succeeded in merging the Facebook and Instagram DMs (direct messages) as both platforms support the same messaging features and can be used to send cross-platform messages.
It remains to be seen if Meta goes through with its plans to merge the messaging services on all three platforms as the general consensus right now is that people would like to keep WhatsApp separate from other platforms.
