WhatsApp never ceases to surprise and recently launched a new feature to react to statuses with a “like”. The option arrived without warning, although Meta had already been working on it for its beta version, but the novelty is that It is now in the stable version for Android.
To use it, the first thing is to have WhatsApp updated and then go to a status of a particular contact. You will notice that A heart icon appears next to the reply box.. If you press it you will be sending a “like” to that particular status.
The interesting thing is that the heart, after being pressed, turns green, which is characteristic of the WhatsApp brand. This color has been with the app since its beginnings, but we don't know if it can be changed when they launch the option to customize the colors.
For now, it works like this, but the person who receives it notices the Like in a more striking wayThis option is quite similar to the one already existing in Instagram Stories. Meta seems to be looking to unify tools across its platforms and this is not the only one it has developed for the messaging app.
Recently showed progress to make mention of contacts in the statuses or to publish a sticker with interactive polls, also in WhatsApp statuses. For the moment, you have to wait for these functions to appear in the stable version of the application, but if you want to give a “like” you can do it now.
