WhatsApp is rolling out a new double-tap reaction feature, similar to Instagram’s direct messaging system, currently in beta testing for Android devices. This feature enables users to respond to messages with a single heart emoji through a double-tap gesture, streamlining interactions and improving user experience.
Key Details:
- Double-Tap Reaction: Users can quickly react to messages (photos, videos, and GIFs) by double-tapping, which is designed to save time and simplify interactions.
- Beta Testing: Available to participants in the WhatsApp Android beta program, which can be joined via the Google Play Store. Slots are limited.
- Long-Press Option: For those who prefer other emojis, the long-press feature will still be available for a wider range of reactions.
- No Disable Option: Users cannot disable the double-tap feature, which may lead to unintended reactions while scrolling through chat history.
