EAGLE-EYED WhatsApp fans might notice a sneaky little change coming up soon.
It’s a minor tweak so only the most observant users will actually notice.

Can you tell the difference between the before and after images in these leaked screenshots?
Well, it turns out WhatsApp is already meddling with its brand new reactions feature.
The Meta-owned app only rolled it out to users in May.
But as WABetaInfo reveals, it’s a small change rather than something radical.
The reaction bar will now tease one extra emoji beneath the message.
Currently, it’ll show a maximum of three, but soon there will be four.
It’s obviously something that will only benefit groups, given that it’s for multiple reactions.
Developers spotted the update in the early test build, so there’s a chance WhatsApp may not release it widely to the public at all.
