If you are an iPhone user and use WhatsApp, then a new feature has come for you. WhatsApp has introduced this feature to make the status more interactive. Now users can add a reaction sticker directly to their WhatsApp Status, by tapping on which anyone can react instantly. This feature works exactly like Instagram Stories and allows users to give feedback in one click. However, this update is currently available only for select iOS beta testers.
Facility to add emoji sticker directly on status
According to the report of WABetaInfo, iOS users can now publish their status photo or video by placing any emoji sticker on it. When a viewer opens the status, the emoji is clearly visible and a reaction can be sent with just a tap. There is no need to open the menu, swipe or search for any hidden option for this feature. This makes status reactions easier and faster than ever before.
You will get the fun of Instagram
This feature works much like Instagram Stories where creators encourage viewers to reply by adding emoji stickers. Even on WhatsApp, this sticker is visible directly in front of the audience, which is likely to increase engagement. The special thing is that any reaction can be seen only by the user who posted the status. That means the entire process remains completely private and no third party gets the information.
Option to choose custom emoji
WhatsApp also allows users to choose the emoji of their choice for stickers. The default emoji is heart-eyes, but if the user wants, he can use laughter, fire, shock or any other emoji, which makes the mood of the status even better. However, this feature is currently released only for selected testers on WhatsApp iOS beta v25.35.10.70. It will be made available to more iPhone users in upcoming updates.
