Are you sick of the same Emoji WhatsApp emoticons? Well, soon you won't have to install any application, new stickers or Emojis that are sent as images in chats. And it is that WhatsApp is preparing news in this section, improving the emoticons Emoji that it already offers , but also expanding your collection And not only with new Emoji, also with stickers and possible animated elements.
As reported by WABetaInfo, a channel that is in charge of scrutinizing the test versions of WhatsApp, the stickers will be one of the strong novelties in the messaging application in the near future. And it is that its managers are working on a whole market of these elements to enjoy more expressiveness in the chats. Something that Telegram users have been enjoying for quite some time.

The funny thing is that, in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS , the same collection of stickers has been discovered from Skype, the chat and video call platform from Microsoft Although this collection is hidden, this source has managed to unhide it to see what kind of stickers we will have coming soon. In addition, he affirms that there will also be a pack of stickers from Facebook. And what is better, “there will be other sticker packs and users will have the opportunity to create their own”, according to a message from his account official. But there is more. Recently, a new beta version of WhatsApp for Android showed changes to its collection of emoticons Emoji Although the changes occurred in the file and not in the content itself, we now know that it has to do with the new emoticon formats that the chat application will have. Thus, when we send a classic Emoji emoticon in a message (without text or other elements), it will be displayed at a larger size. At the moment it is possible to test this by sending a red heart, which will also pulsate thanks to an animation.Well, this idea also applies to sending only two smileys in a message, although slightly reducing their size, and also whensend three emoticons, also with a slightly smaller size. Something that will help give dynamism to conversations or show expressions in a more emphasized way.

Similarly, the symbols of WhatsApp, which they sin of sobriety by not containing any color or animation, they can be used at a larger size if they are sent individually in a conversation or chat. Something that, surely, will not be seen much due to the simplicity they offer.

Now, for now we have to wait for these functions to reach all users And it is that they have not only been discovered in versions beta or test, but some of them, such as stickers, were still hidden in these versions. What is clear is that WhatsApp prepares many new features to prevent other messaging applications from gaining ground on mobile phones. In the meantime, we can only wait and see what all these movements translate into, and if they will happen soon or not.
