WhatsApp has been spotted testing the iMessage-like message reactions feature yet again. The feature was spotted earlier as well, but WhatsApp did not roll it out immediately. However, now it seems that the feature will arrive sooner than we can expect. Meta rolled out the message reactions feature for Facebook Messenger a couple of days ago. Along with this, a screenshot detection feature was rolled out on Messenger. These are some of the features that were also being tested on WhatsApp.
As per Wabetainfo, WhatsApp is readying message reactions (secured by end-to-end encryption) in a new upcoming update of WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS. The WhatsApp tipster had also shared the screenshot of how the feature would look once it is rolled out. The message reactions feature would let users react to messages with a bunch of emojis available. Users will simply have to tap on the message to select an emoji and send it. The message reactions feature is similar to the one on iMessage.
Wabetanifo had previously revealed that the message reactions will be end-to-end encrypted so nobody outside the chat can see your reactions. “Messages can have an infinite number of reactions, but if you have more than 999 reactions, you will read “999+". This is especially applicable in group chats,” the report stated. However, the report had mentioned back then that WhatsApp would roll out limited emojis initially, but the number would increase with time. The feature will be rolled out to iOS and Android users.
On a related note, WhatsApp is also planning to extend the time limit for deleting messages for everyone in a future update. As per Wabetaninfo, WhatsApp could now increase the time limit from one hour, eight minutes, sixteen seconds to two days, twelve hours. This feature could be available in a future update. WhatsApp was also spotted testing the ability to delete messages for everyone in a group. The power to delete messages would be given to the admin irrespective of the count.
