The latest report from WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is testing reaction previews as part of the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.2.16.6 (some are also getting it on version 2.22.16.5). The new feature will show a text preview when a message from a chat receives a reaction.
It is revealed that a chat list will now show a preview of a message reaction at the top to notify you of the latest reaction to a message. This applies to both individual chats and group chats. The report includes a screenshot to show what it will look like and here's a look.
The report also mentions that this functionality will be enabled no matter what. So even if you turn off message reaction notifications, you'll still see reaction previews when the latest update comes in.
