While we are waiting for the update that brings message reaction on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS, WhatsApp is working on other small additions.
As you know, when you send a red heart emoji, it is shown through an animation, but it is only visible when sending that specific red heart. The new change will introduce the same animation for all other heart emojis:
In this video, you can see the animation for some hearts but it’s also supported for all other heart emojis not present in this video. It’s nothing special: it’s simply a small addition, but sometimes small things make the difference.
In this video, you can see the animation on WhatsApp for iOS, but WhatsApp is also planning to release a new update of WhatsApp beta for Android to support the same feature as well. Note that the same feature has been already added on WhatsApp Web/Desktop, including stable updates.
Note that this feature is under development and will be released in a future update for beta testers.
