After the "upcoming" announcement last month, WhatsApp has officially ushered in improvements such as expression response and 2GB large file sharing (previously limited to 100MB) Although the types of expression responses supported in the initial stage are relatively limited, more reactions will be added to WhatsApp in the future. In addition, as a major instant messaging platform under meta, the company also announced on Thursday that it had doubled the scale of group chat.

As an interesting and practical function, WhatsApp introduces Emoji reactions, which is much slower than competitors such as slack and telegraph.
Now, however, users can finally respond by attaching an expression (rather than text) to a message sent by the other party.

In an interview with theverge, meta spokesman vispo bhopti said that the feature is expected to be pushed to all WhatsApp users in "about a week".
At the same time, WhatsApp is expanding the maximum number of people associated with the group (from 256 to 512), although there have been some cracking methods to break through the existing restrictions. In addition, the official blog post pointed out that the company is still brewing to launch a larger group, but it will not come soon.
