WhatsApp to bring double-tap reactions to Android users

Messaging giant WhatsApp is set to introduce a new feature that will streamline user interactions. The platform is currently testing a double-tap message reaction feature for its Android beta version.

According to WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp is testing Instagram and Facebook Messenger like update that will allow users to quickly react to messages with a default heart emoji by simply double-tapping on them. This will eliminate the need to go to reaction tray for reacting to a message. The feature aims to expedite the reaction process, making conversations more dynamic on chat app. The feature is under development so it isn’t available for beta developers yet.
