WhatsApp’s latest update is making chats more festive in time for the holiday season. The app has introduced the party popper emoji as the seventh default reaction, giving users a quick way to add a touch of celebration. The update also includes dynamic confetti animations for certain party emojis.
We were alerted to these changes by the latest post on the WABetaInfo, and we have since confirmed them on the Galaxy S24 Plus. These features are available on compatible devices across all platforms, including Android and iOS, individual chats, group chats, and even channels.
