Back in April, WhatsApp added the ability to react to a message, and since then the ability to react to a WhatsApp status is expected. The feature was rumored to be in the works, and finally we now get the opportunity to react to WhatsApp's version of Stories, along with a few more new features. Take a look at the details.

WhatsApp has introduced a new update for both Android and iOS users, which has brought about the introduction of Status Reactions. This will be similar to how you can react to Instagram Stories and even Facebook Stories.

Currently, there are eight emoji options to choose from, namely smiling face with heart eyes, face with tears of joy, face with open mouth, crying face, folded hands, clapping hands, party popper and hundred points.

The feature is now live and should reach everyone eventually. We were able to use it on both Android phones and iPhones. You can check out the screenshots below to see what this looks like.
