<figure id="attachment18910″ aria-describedby=”caption-attachment-18910″ style=”width: 1190px” class=”wp-caption aligncenter”> Inspired by Instagram‘s successful “quick reaction” feature, WhatsApp is now bringing this functionality to its own platform. This means that soon, you’ll be able to react to messages with a simple double tap on the message itself. The official announcement for this new feature hasn’t been made yet, but WABetaInfo, a portal that tracks new WhatsApp features, reports that the company is currently testing it in the beta version 2.24.16.7 for Android. It’s only a matter of time before it rolls out to the public. <figure id="attachment18911″ aria-describedby=”caption-attachment-18911″ style=”width: 730px” class=”wp-caption aligncenter”><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-18911 size-full" src="https://www.codiciateco.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/whatsapp20240807-codiciateco.it-1.jpg” alt=”whatsapp new secret function” width=”740″ height=”480″ srcset=”…”> This new feature is already familiar to users of other social media platforms, and it’s sure to be a welcome addition to WhatsApp. With a simple double click, you can now easily express your agreement, joy, or any other emotion directly beneath the message. While the feature is still in beta testing, it’s expected to be available to all users in the near future. In the meantime, you can still react to messages using the traditional emoji reactions. But with the new double-tap feature, expressing yourself will be faster and more intuitive than ever before. Note: This article contains an image and a figure element with images.
