The new feature means you'll be able to see detailed reaction info for automatic WhatsApp albums.
"At the moment, when someone reacts to a photo or video in an automatic album, it is not possible to view which media has been reacted to without opening the album," WABetaInfo explained.
"The next feature will let people exactly do it!"
WhatsApp will let you see detailed reaction info with a media thumbnail.
The feature is currently "under development", so it's impossible to say exactly when it'll arrive.
But as it's a minor change, it could be a matter of weeks away.
