WhatsApp is reportedly planning to add animation to all heart emojis of different colors for Android and iOS. This can be linked to the message response feature that the platform would be working on. The feature has already been added to WhatsApp Web/Desktop via a stable update. The news comes a few days after it was reported that Meta’s instant messaging app is working on two new visual indicators on the call and status screen on the iOS version to inform users about end-to-end encryption.
According to a report by WhatsApp with tracker WABetaInfo, developers are working on bringing animation to all heart emojis in the app. Currently, the Red heart emoji has a beating animation on all platforms. With the latest development, it seems that all available colored heart emojis are getting the throbbing animation.
While WABetaInfo shared a screenshot of the heart animation on WhatsApp for iOS, it says WhatsApp also plans to release the same feature on WhatsApp for Android. It is currently in development and will be released in a future beta tester update, according to WABetaInfo.
The feature could be part of the message response feature noted earlier. It is rumored that WhatsApp allows users to respond to a specific message in a chat with specific emojis. There is also a comment information tab to show who has replied to a post. Message responses are reportedly rolling out to individual chat threads and group chat threads.
Recently, a report from WABetaInfo reported that WhatsApp is working on two new visual indicators in Call and Status to inform users about end-to-end encryption. The feature was spotted on the iOS version of WhatsApp and it is not clear whether it will be rolled out to Android users or not. The motive of this feature is to inform the users that in addition to messages, their personal calls and status are also protected with end-to-end encryption.
