Meanwhile, a few days back, WhatsApp has released a new update for its Android users on the beta channel, which reveals that the company is working on message reaction notifications for its Android app.
The source has revealed that that the message reaction notifications feature is “planned to be released in a future update,” so chances are that users would not see it in WhatsApp’s settings menu even if they are on the latest beta version.
Besides, as per GSM Arena, it’s unclear when WhatsApp will release the message reactions feature to all the users, but when it does, it would be a useful addition.
