The source has also mentioned that this new release is limited at the moment but did mention that everyone should be able to see the message reactions. There is no word on whether this feature is limited to group chats, individual chats, or both. This is how the WhatsApp message reactions would work. For those wondering, this is just one of many new features that WhatsApp has been working and we have seen a lot of new feature drops. Some of the notable features include a sticker creator, the ability to preview voice notes before sending them, encrypted backup options, and more. If you are not running the latest beta version of WhatsApp, you can head over to the Play Store and enroll in the beta program. Alternatively, you can sideload the app on your phone through various websites that provide APKs for you to sideload.
