WhatsApp is making it a snap to react with a double tap


WhatsApp is finally getting with the times and adding double-tap hearts.

WhatsApp is apparently rolling out a new feature that lets users quickly react to messages with a double-tap, similar to Instagram and Facebook Messenger. While this quick response option makes reacting faster, you'll still need to use the usual long press to open the full reaction menu if you want to use different emojis. WhatsApp's own double-tap reaction feature for messages is still in development, and it remains unclear when it becomes available to everyone, let alone for beta testing.
