Moreover, users will see the full menu of emoji reactions and customise the quick reaction tray in end-to-end encrypted chats.
With the introduction of Group profile photos, users will be able to choose profile photos for different chats with friends or work colleagues.
Among other features, it includes Link previews, Active Status, and Bubbles on Android.
The company added Link previews for end-to-end encrypted chats so that users can see where a link is taking them, before clicking on it.
The tech giant further mentioned that, "over the next few months, more people will continue to see some of their chats gradually being upgraded with an extra layer of protection provided by end-to-end encryption".
