WhatsApp continues to improve its features and now expands its repertoire of quick reactions with a perfect novelty to celebrate any event. Until now, users could choose from six default emojis to react to messages, such as the thumbs up, the heart, the laughing crying emoji, the surprised, the sad, and the high-five gesture. However, a seventh emoji is added to the list: the iconic party popper, ideal for celebrations like New Year’s.
According to WABetaInfo, this update expands the reaction tray and adds a more animated touch to interactions in the app. Although it has always been possible to respond with any available emoji, the quick selection of these default ones makes it much easier to immediately react to a loved one.
Additionally, WhatsApp has introduced another feature that will make its users smile: now, when sending messages that include emojis like confetti or the celebration face, confetti animations will appear on the screen. Although it’s not a revolutionary change, these small improvements add a fun and very timely touch, especially during times when we are continuously communicating with friends and family.
