There are a couple of things that you must know about WhatsApp reactions that go beyond how to use them.

• For removing a reaction you’ve already sent, simply plug it on with your finger. The reaction will disappear for both you and the other chat recipient.
• For changing a reaction that you’ve already sent, you should repeat the same process as what you used to enter the reaction.
• Each message will only get one reaction for a user.
• In case you’re reacted to an ephemeral message, the reaction appears with the message itself.
• The reactions cannot be hidden, which means you cannot enable/disable them using the settings.
• You can turn on the notifications for reactions, both for single charts and group charts.
