Although Whatsapp has decided to adopt the emoji reaction feature now, the feature has already become common on various leading social media platforms. iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter DM already have a similar feature.
After its partial release for Android devices, the feature is also set to be launched for iOS and desktop applications. In early January WhatsApp’s beta app for iOS had a toggle setting to control “Reaction Notification”.
However, the update is only available for some users; while others will have to wait for a future update.
