WhatsApp will at first allow users to react with six key emoji, but will add more going forward, so people can quickly share their opinions in chats with new messages.
Will Cathcart, head of WhatsApp, said in a tweet late Thursday, “We are excited to announce that Reactions is coming to WhatsApp with all upcoming emoji and skin-tones.” The company also extended file sharing to support files up to 2 gigabytes so that people can easily collaborate on projects.
Now 32 people will be able to call simultaneously
WhatsApp said, “We will introduce one-tap voice calling for up to 32 people with an all-new design for the times when live talking is better than chatting.” Currently, it allows up to eight people on a group voice call.
To further strengthen the Indian digital payments ecosystem, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has approved an additional 60 million users on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for WhatsApp.
With this approval, WhatsApp will now be able to expand the service to 100 million users out of over 400 million users in the country.
