MESSAGE REACTION FILTER
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.23.3 update, we shared information regarding a new feature available to some beta testers: the ability to filter reactions for channel updates. This feature helps channel owners promptly identify if any of their contacts have reacted to their channel content by using an emoji, simplifying their understanding of which updates are most popular among their contacts. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.23.1.71 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we noticed that this feature is now available to some beta testers!
As you can see in this screenshot, some beta testers have now access to a new filtering feature when viewing the reaction list for channel updates. This filter enables channel admins to see individual reactions from their contacts, offering them useful insights into how their contacts are responding to the content they share on their channels.
We think that this feature enhances interaction and feedback for channel admins when sharing a new channel update. Specifically, it may be considered as a valuable tool to help them understand which updates grab the attention of their contacts. This information helps channel admins identify content that resonates most effectively with their audience and contacts, allowing them to refine their future updates and engagement strategies. It’s very important to note that only channel admins can access this information. This means that, even if someone follows the same channel as you, you won’t be able to view their reactions to channel updates, as this feature is private and exclusive to channel admins.
A message reaction filtering feature for channels, making it easier for channel admins to see which of their contacts have reacted to channel updates, is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it’s rolling out to more users over the coming days.
