In WhatsApp they don't know how to sit idly by lately. And we have witnessed a non-stop update of the most widely used messaging application in the world for both the platform Android as for iOS New versions that include features such as starred messages or a new Settings menu layout for iPhoneHowever, they do not forget another of their platforms: the web Thus, in WhatsApp WebIt is now possible to use many moreEmoji emoticons via your computer.
There are around 50 new drawings of all kinds to express opinions, feelings and expressions through the messages of this application. But also to represent more animals, more types of food and many more activities than the that were available to date. Even more flags An expanded collection thanks to the work of the organization Unicode, in charge of reviewing this collection and welcome new smileys, as long as they meet certain rules. And it is that all these new emoticons correspond to the last edition approved last June: Unicode 8
This new collection has been expanded in several of its sections, finding new faces, expected sports, more animals, even more flags and a new way to reorder all these elements. And it is that the family continues to grow enough to have only a few sections.
In this way it is possible to discover among the collection of Emojis the little face that only thinks of money, to nerd with his glasses, the emoticon thoughtful , the sad, the one who swears to be silent by zipping up his mouth, or a couple of new varieties to express that you are sick or in pain The emoticons of the different families also do not go unnoticed , which have been expanded to represent homosexual couples with one or two male and female children in all their possible varieties.
The nature section of WhatsApp also has new members such as león , the turkey, a unicorn or the squirrel, among others. The same thing happens with meals, where the Mexican tacos or the carton of popcorn , although there are more new gastronomic representations. Users of weightlifting or volleyball also now have new drawings available on WhatsApp Web to talk of your passions and training without graphic limitations. And something similar happens with the faith, which is now represented by different religious buildings that show the shapes and symbols of synagogues, churches and mosques. They also haven't forgotten to introduce new flags to represent virtually every state in the world.A requirement that had been requested by users for some time.
All these new emoticons from Unicode 8 are divided into new sections or tabs Thus, of the five common tabs that can be seen in applications mobile (plus the recent tab), the number grows to eight that can be seen on the web versionof WhatsApp A number that frees some categories from elements to avoid cluttering the user and having to search for an expression among a large number of elements.
With all this, it is only the Android platform that is left to receive the new collections of emoticons. And it is that iPhone already welcomed them on its default keyboard in iOS 9.1, and now it is WhatsApp Web where they can be enjoyed, which makes it necessary to use one of these two platforms to avoid seeing pictures empty if these new smileys are sent in a chat
