Android and other users will likely see the feature rolled out in the near future.
WhatsApp insiders WABetaInfo said: "WhatsApp is rolling out settings to manage notifications for reactions, but it’s not possible to react to messages.
"But the fact that it’s possible to manage these settings suggests that message reactions will be available very soon."
There are other new features predicted to be added to the messaging platform in 2022, according to 91mobiles.com
These include hiding your "last seen" from specific contacts, Instagram reels, and a "read later" folder.
There are currently more than 40 million WhatsApp users in the UK.
