Popular social media platform WhatsApp is testing a message reactions feature for Android users. According to a report the feature is being released in beta and limited users are allowed to respond to messages with new emoji reactions on WhatsApp. It is said to include a total of six emoji reactions.
According to WABetaInfo, Emoji reactions have previously been available on Instagram and Messenger. WhatsApp has not yet confirmed when the emoji reactions feature will be available to all users. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is now testing the emoji reactions feature for users on WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.22.8.3. Unfortunately, because this appears to be a small test, only certain beta testers are able to respond to messages, but everyone can now see message reactions. As we said earlier users will receive six emoji reactions such as Like, Love, Laugh, Surprised, Sad, and Thanks.
There is no word on whether users will be able to customise or change the emojis used in message reactions. As per the report, WhatsApp beta for Android, WhatsApp beta for iOS, and WhatsApp Desktop beta have all received the ability to manage reaction notifications in recent weeks. On Twitter, the tracker did confirm the ability to respond to messages would be officially released very soon.
If you are unable to respond to messages, don’t worry: a future update will undoubtedly assist you in obtaining the feature.
The WhatsApp message reactions were first seen testing on Android and iOS for months last year. WhatsApp appears to be working on bringing message reaction capabilities to the desktop client in a new development.
Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a new shortcut for editing recipients when submitting a new Status update, which will allow users to select the audience for each update. They have, however, been spotted in beta versions of WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp for Android, respectively; both additions are still in the works. This means that users will be unable to update them until they are enabled in beta versions of the app and then in the stable channel. There is no word on when these features will be made available to everyone.
WhatsApp has begun to distribute a new audio call interface to iOS beta users. With the latest compatible WhatsApp for iOS beta 22.5.0.70 upgrade, the capability is now available to select iOS beta testers. Users can now play voice messages and audio files outside of the chat window as a result of the change.

The WhatsApp message reactions were first seen testing on Android and iOS for months last year. WhatsApp appears to be working on bringing message reaction capabilities to the desktop client in a new development.
Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a new shortcut for editing recipients when submitting a new Status update, which will allow users to select the audience for each update. They have, however, been spotted in beta versions of WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp for Android, respectively; both additions are still in the works. This means that users will be unable to update them until they are enabled in beta versions of the app and then in the stable channel. There is no word on when these features will be made available to everyone.
WhatsApp has begun to distribute a new audio call interface to iOS beta users. With the latest compatible WhatsApp for iOS beta 22.5.0.70 upgrade, the capability is now available to select iOS beta testers. Users can now play voice messages and audio files outside of the chat window as a result of the change.

Gone are the days when a smartwatch was meant just for counting footsteps besides notifying you the second, minute and hour of the day. Today, smartwatches are built such that not only do they track your heart rate and oxygen levels, but also provide you with a detailed inside-out view of your body by tracking the slightest movement you make. Ranging from checking the number of standing sessions you incurred in a day to monitoring your pace, cadence and speed at each mile that you cover on foot while conducting complex outdoor activities, smartwatches have come a long way in becoming a true healthcare companion of ours. And the latest in line is Xiaomi’s Redmi Watch 2 Lite whose detailed review we have provided below.
Yes, we know that you have to think at least twice before making a 4 digit sum investment into a wristwatch. So that you don’t have to separately take out time and spend your valuable energy and resources into gathering crucial working knowledge of the same, we have brought to you a complete inside-out review of the brand-new Redmi Watch 2 Lite.
Starting from the very beginning, the Redmi Watch 2 Lite comes in a square box packaging that has a clever structure. Inside the box, you will find the TFT LCD black glossy display driven smartwatch quietly waiting for you to pick up and bring to life. The main watch body is supported by two smooth blue rubber straps holding it from both sides. Apart from the smartwatch, the package also consists of a magnetic two-pin charging wire with a USB port type at its other end (without the adapter), and a user manual.
Once you pick up the smartwatch, you will notice a small metallic function button on its right side. Flip it around and you will see the heart rate sensor right at the centre of its back, mounted on a shiny black raised rectangular platform. Just about a centimetre below it lies the tiny contact points for its magnetic charger. Moreover, at the beginning of either side of the wrist straps, you will find two small rubber buttons pressing which you’ll be able to pull and detach the straps from the main body of the watch. Yes, its straps are detachable.
You switch on the Redmi Watch 2 Lite by pressing and holding the function button on the right side of its body frame (as mentioned before), for about 5 to 10 seconds. The size of the display screen is about 1.55-inches with a resolution of 360×320 pixels and a 311-pixel density. To tell you, you would have to first download the Xiaomi Wear/Wear Lite app on your smartphone and then scan the bar code displayed on your smartwatch’s screen through your phone. This will help you better manage your Redmi smartwatch by connecting it with your smartphone so that the two are combined into a single unit.
To connect your Redmi smartwatch with your smartphone, Bluetooth connectivity would be required. Once connected, you can access all your smartwatch applications, reports and records of your own activity through the Xiaomi Wear app on your smartphone itself.
Upon bringing it to life, you will observe the Redmi Watch 2 Lite’s display background or the theme to be black in colour. The colours are vivid and bright, with the per-page on-screen space being simple and elegant in design. However, it may take you a while to decipher the meaning of each icon and the stats it is representing.

The home screen appears after a single click of the side function button. On the home screen is displayed the time at the top, below which you can see your active kcal measure, the number of steps you take on a daily basis, along with the battery percentage. All three are colour coded and on their right side is displayed a rainbow-like meter displaying the same information graphically with respective colour codings, for easier understanding.
Click the function button twice and the applications menu appears on the screen, consisting of apps to help you monitor each health or fitness function separately, like Workout, Activity Log, Heart Rate, SpO2, Alarm, Stopwatch, Compass, Flashlight, Settings, and much more. If you swipe left to right or from right to left on the home screen, widgets along with any recent applications or health stats that you recorded will get displayed. Swiping up from the bottom on the home screen will open the control panel while swiping down from up on the home screen will display notifications for you. Swiping left to right on any screen other than the home screen acts as a back button on the Redmi smartwatch.
The Redmi Watch 2 Lite offers you loads of applications to monitor a wide range of activities, ranging from walking, running and cycling to swimming, jump rope, trekking, hiking and much more. Moreover, it also allows you to add or subtract any item from the list of options already provided to you.
What is one of its cool features is that in case you are taking a walk down the road wearing your Redmi Watch 2 Lite, it automatically detects the same and asks you whether you’d like to record and measure your fitness stats related to walking or not. If you agree, then after your walking session, you are provided with a detailed report mentioning the distance you covered, time taken, total calories burned, active calories, your pace, speed, number of steps taken, cadence, stride, heart rate graph and much more.
Similarly, taking another such example, if you chose to jump rope one day, your jump rope report will include detailed metrics on the number of jumps you made, the time taken, your heart rate and even your jump height. And on another side note, in case the smartwatch detects very low calories have been burnt in a workout session, it also asks you whether to scrap that session’s records or not. Cool isn’t it?

However, the accuracy of certain metrics like the number of steps taken, etc. can be improved a bit more. Also, it has been noted that in case you want to measure your O2 stats, you would have to keep your wrist extremely still and wait for about 10-15 seconds, otherwise, the smartwatch won’t be able to represent the same record for you.
Another cool feature that the Redmi Watch 2 Lite provides you with is its camera function. Now, the smartwatch isn’t equipped with a camera or speakers or anything of the sort. However, if you pair it with your smartphone, you will be able to control the shutter button of your smartphone through your smartwatch’s camera application. Hence, you can click as many selfies or groupies as you like, without the hassle of enabling the camera timer! Other tools that the Redmi smartwatch offers include a flashlight, alarm, stopwatch, reminders et al.
