Reactions have been one of the latest and most notorious additions to WhatsApp . However, the application continues to add improvements to this functionality and now allows you to modify the skin tone in two of them.
It seems that it was in another life when WhatsApp emoticons could only be Simpson yellow. But nothing is further from reality, since the tone modifications landed in a recent 2015 .

Since then, the emoji icons appear by default in yellow, but if you press and hold on some of them you can diversify the color in five different tones: from pale white to dark brown , almost bordering on black.
This inclusion was highly anticipated in its day, since users demanded that WhatsApp show the diversity of human races through skin color . Therefore, it is not surprising that the novel reactions follow the same pattern.
From now on, you will be able to react with Folded hands and Thumbs up emojis in different skin tones . This does not apply to the other four emoticons included in the reactions, since the mythical round faces always remain yellow and the rest is a red heart.
In this screenshot you can see the five tones available in the Together Hands emoticon, which would be exactly the same in the Thumbs Up emoticon. Of course, the skin tone that will appear in your list of reactions is based on the last one used . That is, if you have sent a Thumbs up in a dark brown tone, it will appear in the list of reactions like this.
The messaging application does not stop making improvements and adding new features. The latest has been announced today, and it is that messages sent on WhatsApp will soon be able to be edited. In the link we leave you everything that is known so far.
Among the future plans of WhatsApp is also the possibility of reacting with any emoji available within the main list, either with a tiger or with fireworks. For now, we have to settle for these five emojis and wait for news.
WhatsApp reactions in various skin tones are now available in the beta version of Android . You can easily download it from the Google Play Store, and in case you cannot access it, please be patient until the next updates arrive.
