Telegram will add reactions like WhatsApp

In a very short time Telegram will have reactions like WhatsApp , although we will have to wait to see which application arrives first because currently neither of them offers this functionality, but they will be part of those applications in a short space of time.

Of the reactions for WhatsApp to add in messages that are sent to us in a conversation, it has been talking for a long time, a quick way to react to a chat message without having to send one back , but so far it is not available.

This is something that is, for example, in Facebook Messenger, if you press and hold a message within a conversation you will see that a series of emojis appear to react to the text, only some very specific ones, but in Telegram there could be several more as we see in the beta.

They will be lively reactions

Unlike what we know so far about the functionality for WhatsApp, the reactions in Telegram will be different because they will be animated , that is, when clicking on any of them the message will be placed, but it will appear on a larger screen with an animation, according to the Telegram Beta Info channel.

At the end it will work the same, react to any message, in Telegram you will have the option to put a specific reaction through a predefined list or press any other of the reactions that other people have already put previously.

However, by double clicking on the message there is no possibility to choose a reaction, but the one previously predefined from the settings.

This possibility is being tested in a beta version of Telegram for iOS , so it is a matter of time before it is officially launched for all users, although the arrival date is unknown, but we will probably already have to wait for the year 2022 that is close by. this.

The reactions are also expected to be available on Telegram for Android. In any case, that will mean that almost certainly the reactions will be one of the first Telegram news of 2022 , although it will surely come accompanied by many other news, corrections and improvements.

Telegram’s reactions seem to be a reality soon, so that it will provide users with a quick way to react to a message without having to reply with a text message, now we just have to wait for the news to officially reach everyone.
