What are WhatsApp emoji reactions?
If you use Messenger, Telegram, or iMessage, you probably already know what emoji responses are. Thanks to these reactions you can respond to a message with an emoji. WhatsApp has also had these emoji responses since the beginning of this year. This is handy because you can quickly respond to a comment with a thumbs up instead of typing a new message with a thumbs, which then sends everyone a notification. Now only the person who posted the message will get a notification.
To use it, long press a message and tap one of the emoji. Want to use a different emoji than the one you selected? Then long press the message again and choose another one. Want to remove the emoji? Then long press the message again and tap the same emoji response.
