The latest from WhatsApp will allow you to react in a new way to the messages they send you

That WhatsApp has become the main application on the phones of many people in Spain is not strange. It is one of the most complete instant messaging applications on the market, although its strong point lies in the fact that, since it is the one most people use, it’s easier to find your contacts there than in other alternatives such as Telegram or Signal.

In addition to this, the application has a large number of possibilities. From making a video call to taking a survey among your group of friends or even following your favorite soccer team’s channel, these are some of the things that can be done in the app.

Some of them, like the reactions are widely used by many users on a daily basisso much so that they have become indispensable. Now, the platform has added a new reaction that is also incredibly useful for congratulating this Christmas and that will appear in the first row when we are going to perform this action.

New reaction on WhatsApp

A while ago WhatsApp introduced reactions to the application. Basically, it is an animation that is displayed when we hold down on a message and select an emoticon, and they are a great way to express, for example, like or dislike of a specific message.

Any emoji can be used for this, but it is true that not all of them have their own full-screen animation. They are placed in order, showing first those that have their own animation. Now, on the occasion of Christmas, the company has decided to include the holiday emoticon among these animations.

When this is pressed, confetti will appear just above the reaction bar, and the person who sent the message will also see it when they open the conversation. It is an ideal way to react to a general congratulation in a group, for example.

This novelty is added to the new filter of the app to congratulate the new year that users in Spain can already enjoy, and it is possible that Meta still has some ace up its sleeve to announce in the coming days in relation to the dates on which that we are.
