The Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg yesterday launched the much-awaited ‘message responses’ feature on Whatsapp.
The company has also allowed users to share files up to 2GB in size at a time within the app. A programme is rolling out that enables users to add up to 512 people to a group.
Zuckerberg announced this in an Instagram Story last month, when he previewed the function while discussing his most anticipated future feature, WhatsApp Communities.
He stated that initially, users will have six WhatsApp replies from which to respond to messages. The thumbs up emoji, love emoji, LOL emoji, wow emoji, tear emoji, and high five emoji will all be included.
Reacting to WhatsApp messages is similar to responding to Facebook Messenger or Instagram messages.
Step 1: Open WhatsApp, then open a chat
Step 2: Press and hold the message you want to react to
Step 3: The app will show six different emojis to react
Step 4: Drag your thump to the desired emoji and leave it
Step 5: Your reaction will appear on that message instantly.
WhatsApp released a phone call feature in April that allowed for more participants in a single audio conference, as well as improved the overall call experience.
WhatsApp now allows up to 32 participants to participate in a single call. Previously, WhatsApp allowed just eight individuals to participate in a single phone call.
