  • WhatsApp is working on emoji reactions and a raise hand feature for video calls.
  • The new features appear in beta version 2.25.5.21.
  • You can access these features by tapping on the horizontal three dots.

While it’s not exactly the most important feature to have access to, it’s nice to have the option to react to what’s going on during a video call. WhatsApp has long been missing this functionality, but it looks like it could soon catch up to other services that do have it, like Google Meet and Zoom.
