The latest version of WhatsApp will finally allow you to

react with any emoji to a message

.

Since last May, the application offered this possibility, but only with a default selection of six icons.

Now, the options are extended to the complete collection of emojis on the platform, which has

107 icons.

"We are implementing the ability to use any emoji as a reaction in WhatsApp, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta, has explained in a message on Facebook. In the message Zuckerberg has added some of his favorite emojis, including the robot icon, French fries or a man surfing, one of his favorite sports.

In addition to being able to use different emojis as a reaction, the new version of the app also finally includes

support for modifiers

that allow emojis to have different skin tones.

In WhatsApp it has always been possible to reply or write to a message with an emoticon, but the option to react is recent.

Instead of sending an additional message to the conversation, a reaction just

shows a small emoticon under the text bubble of

the original message.

This makes it possible to

save messages in a conversation

, especially within a group, and like conventional messages, reactions are also encrypted end-to-end.
