It will be available in both individual and group conversations. But certainly, it will be helpful in groups a lot. For now, users need to reply to the message with a certain emoji or sticker. The message reaction will appear below the message. In groups, the person who sent the message will be able to see all reactions sent by other users of the group.

Several messaging apps including Messenger, Instagram, Discord, and more already offer message reactions. Not sure why WhatsApp took so long in adding it to the platform.
