    WhatsApp for Android is testing a new gesture feature that allows users to respond to messages faster by double-tapping them.

    As per the feature tracker claims, WhatsApp for Android may be testing a new gesture feature that will help users respond to messages faster. The feature will allow users to react to messages faster by simply double tapping on them and will display emojis by default. It builds on the implementation of a previously reported feature in development that could allow users to quickly react to received media, such as photos and videos, from the media viewer itself.


    WhatsApp Message Reactions

    According to WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo, the quick message reply feature has been spotted in the WhatsApp Android app beta version 2.24.16.7. Once rolled out, users will be able to quickly reply to messages by double-tapping them. According to feature tracking, when you react to a message, a "heart emoji" will appear by default, similar to the features of other meta-platform apps such as Instagram and Facebook.

    This will speed up the process of replying to messages. Instead of the need to press and maintain a message to choose an emoji "Heart ", users can simply double the press to achieve the same goal.The tracker's function claims that the option of a double pressure reaction is only available for beta testers, because it is still in development. Therefore, it is only accessible to those who are using the latest WhatsApp for Android beta through the Google Play beta program.


    Other features

    Apart from quick replies to messages, WhatsApp is also reportedly developing several other features, such as live transcription of voice messages and real-time message translation. In addition, in the chat with the instantaneous messaging of artificial intelligence (AI), the duplicated meta AI receives more functions, such as extended language support, imagination, and imagine me.

    He also introduces the opportunity to test the LLAMA 3.1 405B, the last model of the company's AI. META states that this AI model is suitable for mathematics complex demands and advanced solution processing.
