WhatsApp to Introduce Sticker Reactions for Messages

Meta is still experimenting with WhatsApp and may soon roll out a new feature that will improve the user experience on one of the most widely used messaging and phone apps globally.

Whatsapp has A New Update?

WhatsApp stickers are already incredibly popular because they give users a unique method to communicate their emotions or feelings. Meta is taking this to the next level with WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.25.13.23, which allows users to respond to a message with a sticker, just like they do with emoticons now.

Meta Expands Android Feature Testing and Will Soon Enter iOS

At least for beta testers, the feature is presently available on Android devices and will probably be made available on iOS devices in the days ahead.

A New Message Reply Emoji and Sticker Reaction Feature

The most popular emoji bar, which can be customized to include stickers, may be accessed by long-pressing a message. Then, these stickers can be applied in response to a message.

There are now only emoticons available for message reactions, but stickers will be added in the next release. These could be stickers made by users themselves, third-party apps, or official WhatsApp packs.

Users of WhatsApp should be able to respond to messages more expressively thanks to this functionality, particularly when a typical emoji might not feel like enough.

WhatsApp’s New Secure Chat Opt-In Feature Improves Privacy

With a recent upgrade, WhatsApp also introduced advanced conversation privacy, an opt-in feature that stops users from sharing content outside of a group, making it a more secure and private messaging network. When activated, this feature stops media from being automatically downloaded to the gallery and limits users’ ability to export messages from a particular conversation or group.
