Once you have downloaded the new version of WhatsApp with reactions, it is possible that this highly anticipated feature is still disabled, as it is being gradually rolled out in different regions of the world.
What reactions are available on WhatsApp
How to use reactions in WhatsApp? It was one of the most asked questions among the more than 2 billion active users of the platform. To do this, you must press and hold the message until the new selection menu opens; there will be 6 emojis to choose from: thumbs up, red heart, face with tears of joy, open-mouthed face, crying face, and hands clapping.
Keep in mind that you can change the emoji in the messages and remove them when you consider it necessary, in case you sent the reaction by mistake.
How to try WhatsApp with reactions for iPhone and Android
WhatsApp reactions on iPhone and Android work in the same way: by pressing and holding the message, seeing the list of new emojis to react, and selecting from the 6 icons provided by WhatsApp.
However, for the desktop version of WhatsApp, you can react to messages a little differently: you must long-click on the message for the new emoji window on WhatsApp Web to appear and send them to your contacts.
Extra trick to force WhatsApp reactions: we recommend uninstalling the WhatsApp Beta version, if you have it, as the app may have prioritized the original version. Make sure to create a backup so that your chats and messages are safe before trying out this new feature.
