Mark Zuckerberg himself has given this information through Instagram Story. This feature will allow users to instantly react to messages with emoji. Initially, there will be six emoji – which include Like, Love, Laugh, Surprise, Sad and Thanks. It is being said that all emoji will be available in the future.

The latest version seen in testing is ready to give users access to the full emoji keyboard when they tap on the plus button. However, for now, not much of the emoji reaction palette is available to beta testers yet.
