WhatsApp Now Lets You Double Tap a Message to React
WhatsApp is ringing in the new year with the launch of several exciting features, officially announced today. One of the standout updates is the ability to double tap a message to react, making it quicker and more convenient for users to express their feelings in conversations. This feature allows users to quickly scroll through their most frequently used reactions, enhancing the overall messaging experience.
In addition to the new reaction feature, WhatsApp has introduced camera effects, which include the same 30 backgrounds, filters, and effects that were previously available for video calls. Users can now apply these effects to their images, adding a creative touch to their photos.
Another notable addition is the ability to turn a selfie into a sticker. This feature is straightforward: users can tap "Create sticker," take a selfie on the spot, and instantly generate a sticker from it. This functionality is currently rolling out to Android users, with plans to make it available on iOS "soon."
Furthermore, users can now share sticker packs directly through WhatsApp, making it easier to spread the fun with friends and family.
With these updates, WhatsApp continues to enhance its platform, providing users with more ways to communicate and express themselves creatively.
