According to media reports, iPhone users will now be able to add any emoji as a sticker to a photo or video in their Status. The emoji is clearly visible to the viewer, and reactions can be sent with just a tap, without any additional menus or swipes. This makes Status interactions much smoother and faster

This new option offers an Instagram-like experience, where creators encourage audiences to react through stickers. In WhatsApp, these stickers are also directly visible to viewers, potentially increasing engagement. Importantly, the sent reaction is only visible to the user who posted the status, keeping the entire process completely secure and private

Users can make their status more expressive by choosing their favorite emoji. The default is the heart-eyes emoji, but you can also use fire, laughter, shock, or any other emoji
