WhatsApp to get new swipe to reply gesture on Android

The new feature should pop up in WhatsApp beta version 2.18.300, so if you have an older version, you'll have to update to find this specific gesture on your Android phone. As the title suggests, using the gesture is quite simple: swipe or flick any message to the right to reply to it.
Unfortunately, we can't say for sure when exactly the new swipe to reply gesture will be made available to WhatsApp users on Android, so stay tuned for more on this one.
