WhatsApp, the Facebook-owned instant messaging tool, was recently rumoured to be integrating responses to messages. Recently, a new report has clarified how message reactions would appear and function on WhatsApp. WhatsApp's upcoming message replies feature will allow users to react to messages using emoticons, akin to Apple's iMessage, Twitter, and Facebook's own Instagram and Messenger.
According to an image posted by WABetaInfo, message reactions will appear just below the text message and will be available for solo and group conversations. Participants in a group chat will be able to see who responded to a certain message.
