WhatsApp to roll out emoji reactions

Source: WhatsApp

You can soon add emoji reactions to your WhatsApp chats. The app will be getting six emoji reactions first when the feature launches "soon." But the Meta-owned app promises to bring "all emojis and skin-tones" in the future. Right now, you can react to messages with a thumbs up, heart, laughing face, shocked face, crying face, and the prayer hands. Sometimes we're just too lazy or preoccupied to type out how we feel about certain messages, so we're happy to see WhatsApp include the option. 

WhatsApp also increases max file size sharing to 2GB instead of the 100MB limit before. And you can get up to 32 people in a voice at once instead of eight.
