WhatsApp: This is how the soon-to-be-released new feature will work for users
As you can see in the screenshot, a text preview appears when you receive a reaction in a particular conversation.
In this case, we responded to a message with a green heart emoji and a text preview appeared in the chat menu.
Novelty works with chats and groups and there is no way to disable it: it is enabled even if the user has disabled Reaction Notifications in WhatsApp Settings > Notifications.
According to the website, this feature is available for some beta testers and there will be more activations in the future. Discover what’s new:
