As of March 31, 2025, the new WhatsApp messenger feature is still in its early stages, primarily available to beta testers, but it’s expected to reach all users in the coming weeks or months, depending on regional updates and testing feedback.

WhatsApp will allow users to react to a chat with a range of emojis, such as a thumbs up, heart, laughing face, and crying face.
WhatsApp has finally started rolling out the much-awaited multi-device capability that will allow users to access the instant messaging app not just on their phones but also on up to four non-phone devices at the same time. The new development, that is initially a limited public beta test, comes months after the rumour mill suggested its behind-the-scenes existence. WhatsApp says that it “had to rethink” its architecture and design new systems to bring multi-device support to its final shape. The Facebook-owned company is also claimed to preserve its privacy and end-to-end encryption while enabling the new experience.
