WhatsApp to Introduce Double-Tap Reaction Feature Soon: Details Inside

This new feature will enable users to quickly respond to media content, including photos, videos, and GIFs, without leaving the viewer’s screen, making interactions faster and more convenient. Currently, reacting on WhatsApp requires users to press and hold the message or media file for a few seconds to open an array of reactions, which can be time-consuming. The double-tap feature will streamline this process by allowing users to react with a default heart emoticon.
