WhatsApp has been regularly testing a lot of new features. A new feature comes up with updates every now and then.
According to Mashable, a new feature was first spotted by WABetaInfo, a popular website that pushes regular updates with WhatsApp.
This new feature called ‘Animated Stickers’ will make the conversations more fun and interactive for users. WABetaInfo stated, “You need to update your WhatsApp version to the 2.20.194.7 Android beta and 2.20.70.26 iOS beta versions or newer updates, in order to view Animated Stickers. WhatsApp Business is included.”
Those who have updated to the most recent version available but are not getting the features can back up their chat history and reinstall WhatsApp to get updated features. The animated features consist of three parts: first is the possibility to view animated stickers, save, and send all animated stickers. Users can also import animated stickers from third parties that have their own animated stickers’ package. Users can also download default animated sticker packs from the WhatsApp Store.
According to WABetaInfo, the instant messaging app is currently giving the feature to specific users but only with the limited activity to view the animated stickers. Whatsapp will roll out the complete features to users after full activation of the three parts.
