WhatsApp Continuously working on improving the experience of its users. New features are being rolled out for beta users every day. Recently the instant messaging app owned by Meta has also released some new features for its users. Now the company is working on bringing features like Instagram.
The facility to react to messages in WhatsApp was released a long time ago. Users can hold the message and give their reaction to it through emoji. However, now they will be able to give instant reactions just by clicking. Read below for the details of the upcoming feature.
Instagram like feature will come in WhatsApp
A shaken report by WABetainfo, a website tracking the upcoming features of WhatsApp, states that the company is working on a double tap action for message reaction. It will be added in future updates of the app.
This means that now WhatsApp will also get features like the popular short video sharing platform Instagram. Like you double click on a message on Instagram and it gets liked. An image of a heart starts appearing on it. Similarly, as soon as you double tap on the message received on WhatsApp, it will be liked by you and the thumbs up emoji will start appearing on it. The reaction will be sent just by double clicking.
Now many options are available
Currently, users have to hold the message to react to the message and then a menu opens. In this you get many options of emoji.
A video has been given in the report. It is clearly visible how the new feature will work. Just double tapping on the reaction in the video is going to react with the like emoji. Right now it seems that by double tapping, only the reaction of thumbs up will be able to give and no emoji option will come. For this reason this feature looks like Instagram.
With this, WhatsApp users will be able to react to messages easily and quickly. With its help, their time will also be saved. However, keep in mind that the double tap reaction feature is still in the development phase. It will be released with upcoming updates in the future.
