WhatsApp might soon get its own 'Like' button similar to Facebook alongside a 'mark as unread' feature for chats, hints some new reports on the Internet. A WhatsApp beta tester named Ilhan Pektas recently tweeted (via AndroidPit) about the 'Like' button feature coming to WhatsApp. The tweet in German said (translated), "Like Button for divided images in WhatsApp." While the tweet indicated that the 'Like' feature might be used for images, it is still not clear how the feature will be implemented in general conversation.

This will allow users to send a quick and short reply to simple questions without having to type it out. It could also be implemented in group chats where photos are shared and group chat members can “Like” it, which once again does away with the need to type out a comment if it isn’t necessary.
