With a recent upgrade, WhatsApp began rolling out emoji reactions to users. Android and iOS, however, just a limited percentage of users received the update. It's understandable, as new feature updates are frequently rolled out in stages to test whether users encounter anything strange or unfixed faults.

Six pre-selected emojis reactions will appear, similar to the conversion reaction found in Instagram messages.
Tap on the emotion you want to react to.
With notification, the emoji reaction will be sent to the other person.
Emoji reactions will be shown underneath the messages, similar to how they are on Instagram.

On WhatsApp Desktop, here's how to respond to messages using emoticons:

Get the most recent version.
Start a conversation.
On the sender's chat, you'll notice an emoji icon.
You can select from six different emoji faces by clicking on the same.
To submit a reaction, click the emoji.
Your friend will receive the emoji based on your reaction.

New Features Whatsapp could apply in future

According to reports, WhatsApp may include stickers and GIF replies to the platform. These features were just discovered in a development build and may eventually make their way into stable versions.

WhatsApp is also experimenting with emoji replies for status posts. This feature, which is currently in testing, will allow users to respond to other users' status changes with emoji replies, similar to how they do on Instagram.

According to a leaked source, WhatsApp for Desktop will feature eight predefined reactions, although it's unclear how many alternatives we'll have on Android and iOS.
