How will this feature work?
Whenever you see someone else's status, you will be allowed to have an instant reaction with many types of emoji. It will work in the same way as users on Instagram react by pressing emojis like clapping hands, party popper, crying face and fire after seeing someone's story.
At present, users text after seeing someone's status update, but now the experience of users is about to change. WABetaInfo has also shared a screenshot in its report, in which 8 new emoji can be seen for the reaction. This will include emojis like Smiling face with heart eyes, Tear face with joy, crying face, folded hands, clapping hands, party popper.
Feature to allow chat on multiple phones from same account
The instant messaging app is working on a feature that will allow users to chat on multiple phones or tablets from the same account.
The screen will prompt you to register the device you will be using as your 'companion' by scanning a code with your main phone.
Please note that currently no code is given to scan. Earlier, WhatsApp could be run only through desktop client or web browser.
