This article explains how to turn “Reaction Notifications” on or off on mobile devices in WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is a popular cross-platform messaging app that allows users to send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, share files, and more.
One can configure many settings with the WhatsApp app in Windows, including starting the WhatsApp app at login, turning read receipts on or off, turning notifications on or off, turning automatic downloads on or off, clearing and deleting chats, and more.
On mobile devices, you can turn the fingerprint lock feature on or off, turn disappearing messages on or off, turn last seen and online status on or off, silence unknown callers, add or remove people from blocked contacts, change who can add you to groups, turn conversation tones on or off, turn Send is enter on or off, turn ringtone on or off, turn high priority notifications on or off, change who can see your updates, and more, which are unavailable on the desktop.
You can also turn “Reaction Notifications” on or off when you use the mobile version.
WhatsApp’s “Reaction Notifications” feature allows users to receive notifications when someone reacts to their messages. This can be helpful for users who want to stay updated on the reactions they receive, but it can also be distracting or overwhelming for others.
One may want to turn off reaction notifications to avoid unnecessary distractions or reduce the notifications they receive on their mobile device. On the other hand, turning on reaction notifications can help users stay more engaged with their conversations and quickly respond to reactions.
