WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android with version 2.24.9.29. It comes with an enhanced user experience for status updates. The update introduces a reaction notification toggle that gives users more control over their notifications.
Building upon the quick reaction feature that WhatsApp had been developing, the latest beta version takes it a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions’ on status updates. This means users can choose not to be alerted every time someone reacts to their status, which can be especially useful for those who receive numerous reactions.
The ability to disable reaction notifications can help reduce disruptions and prevent the notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction alerts. However, for users who still want to view reactions at their convenience, this update allows them to do so without constant interruptions.
By introducing this feature, WhatsApp aims to give users more control over their notification settings and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. It’s worth noting that this feature is still under development, and more details will be shared as they become available.
