WhatsApp readying quick reactions for its Stories-like Status feature<\/div>\n
\n
\n

While WhatsApp prepares the Reactions feature in its next update for users, it is also working to add an Instagram Stories-like function to its Status tab. This will allow users to quickly react to posts. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As first spotted by WABetainfo<\/a><\/em>, quick reactions will come to WhatsApp Status in a future update. The publication explains:<\/p>\n

\n

Quick Reactions is a way to quickly send an emoji when viewing a status update on WhatsApp, so the same feature we use on Instagram when reacting to a Story! <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As you can see, WhatsApp has eight emojis in mind for the moment: Face with open eyes, Face of Tears and Joy, Face With Open Mouth, Face with Crying Face. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

WABetaInfo<\/em> explains that “after reacting to a status update, the reaction is sent in the chat as a simple emoji message,” although WhatsApp could be readying a proper user interface when receiving a quick reaction from the Status post. <\/p>\n

The publication says that this feature is being developed for its Desktop version, although it’s likely that we’ll see the same function for iOS and Android users. <\/p>\n

Talking about WhatsApp for Desktop, WABetaInfo<\/a><\/em> also gives another look at the group polls feature, set to be released on a later date:<\/p>\n

\n

After sending the poll, you and other people can vote for the option you choose and other participants will be able to see all votes. Actually, WhatsApp has not developed a feature that allows checking who voted for a specific option, but maybe it is planned for a future update: since group polls are under development, some features are still missing and it may be one of these. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
