We can FINALLY use stickers on WhatsApp. Now that’s the news that everyone wants to here! Apparently, the new Android P Beta update might come with new WhatsApp Stickers. Keep reading for more details!
WhatsApp Stickers appeared on Android Beta update
WhatsApp is finally catching up with its rivals (WeChat, Viber, etc) and might soon get its own stickers on the upcoming Android Beta update. According to our source, a new stickers update is now available for WhatsApp Android beta version 2.18.218, coming in two packs: ‘Bibimbap Friends” and “Unchi & Rollie”. While Bibimbap Friends is an animate casserole, the Unchi & Rollie is a turd and a rolling paper, respectively. However, an exact launching date is unclear at this point.
Last month, WhatsApp Stickers appeared on Android beta version 2.18.189, though the feature was under development and remotely disabled. Now, it looks like WhatsApp beta testers can also access Stickers. The feature’s icon will apparently be next to GIF button on the keyboard. Users will require data to download a pack for the first time. Once users have downloaded the pack, the stickers can be available offline as well.
Moreover, there are four reaction packs for the WhatsApp Stickers – Lol, Love, Sad, and Wow. With WhatsApp’s Sticker Reaction packs, users will be able to quickly select and send stickers to contacts right from within the app’s keyboard. All they have to do is open a Sticker category in Stickers View and select to share with friends. A new heart icon will also be added in the Sticker View, which users can click on to view the four reactions feature. Of course, there is also a different set of stickers for each category on the app.
WhatsApp’s new improvements
It is a fact that Stickers have become a fun tool for people to converse or add them in their chat browsers. Thus, it is high time that WhatsApp brings this feature in the app. Apart from this new improvement, WhatsApp has also released features to tackle the “fake news” problem. It includes labelling messages as forwarded if it is an information which has been circulating and has not originated from the sender.
