WhatsApp is introducing a holiday update by making the Party Popper emoji the seventh default reaction as users prepare to celebrate Christmas and the start of the New Year in the coming days.
The Party Popper emoji can be explored directly within the reaction tray of the Meta-owned instant messaging service, according to WABetaInfo. This gives users a convenient option to celebrate and show delight without having to go for it in the emoji picker.
The Party Popper emoji was selected because it is widely associated with celebrations, which makes it ideal for New Year’s and Christmas celebrations.
It’s crucial to note that this feature works on all platforms, including iOS, Android, group chats, and individual conversations.
