WhatsApp testing Like reactions for Status updates on Android, unknown account message blocking in the works

WhatsApp has been working on a quick reaction feature for Status updates for the past few months, and it seems the feature's public rollout is closer since the Meta-owned platform has started testing it on Android with beta version 2.24.17.21 of the app.

Users will see a heart-shaped "Like" button next to the "Reply" text box when viewing a Status, allowing them to Like that Status update.

WhatsApp will also let users decide whether or not to get notifications...
