WhatsApp’s latest Android beta brings emoji to video calls.

Android Authority spotted that the latest WhatsApp Android beta now lets you raise your hand or send emoji reactions during a video call.

Similar to a video call in Google Meet, the WhatsApp beta only presents a handful of options, like the thumbs-up emoji or heart emoji. Both the hand-raising option and emoji reactions are tucked behind the three-dots menu.
