WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that would allow users to turn off notifications for message reactions. The meta-owned app introduces new features and upgrades in order to improve the messaging app’s user experience and speed.

The feature is reportedly under development for WhatsApp beta and will be available for Android and iOS.

“WhatsApp Desktop beta 2.2147.11: what’s new? WhatsApp is developing a feature to mute notifications for message reactions, available in a future update. The same feature is under development on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS,” WABetaInfo tweeted.

“When the feature to send message reactions will be released in a future update, a new setting is available that allows muting all notifications when you receive reactions. Unlike WhatsApp for Android, which will offer the setting to mute notifications for message reactions received in group chats, WABetaInfo said in a report.
