WhatsApp launches new Emoji emoticons in its beta version

Are you one of the advanced WhatsApp users who can't wait for news to arrive for everyone? Well, if that's the case and you're a betatester or tester user, you already have new tools to enjoy on WhatsApp. Or rather, many more Emoji emoticons to add color and expressiveness to your chats. And it is that a new version has just arrived with some subtle but notable changes. This is the beta version 2.18.384 of WhatsApp for Android

New Emoji emoticons

The WABetaInfo team, which always informs us of the most recent changes, has detected modifications in no less than 357 emoticons But no They are not completely new. In fact, they are small subtle changes in the design of these Emoji, which now show more details or new colors.

The difference is only noticeable when the old version and the new version are placed side by side. It is then when, for example in the hand icons, you see the shadows of the different phalanges, or more texture and depth in the hand. In other cases the difference is in the color, or even in the placement on the space. Other emoticons have changed in somewhat more appreciable details, such as the slight nod in the facepalm emoticon .

These emoticons are already included to be used in all their aspects and color variations, so you just have to make a long press to choose the one you want. According to WABetaInfo, the new designs will arrive in the stable version of WhatsApp shortly after passing through the beta version.

Sticker bug fix

Some users suffered from an important problem with the stickers And, although the function is already active for everyone, in the beta version of WhatsApp was causing problems for some. So much so that they couldn't use this feature, preventing the stickers from being seen in conversations.

Well, this update solves this problem, and the stickers can now be used regularly by everyone, without any playback errors.

Remember that to be a beta tester or tester of the beta versions you only need to access the service through the Google Play Store to get all these functions before other users. If there are no places available, you can always download the beta version of WhatsApp from secure compilations like APKMirror, where the latest available versions are always posted, even the beta ones. These versions are less stable and may contain bugs as they are testing new features to fine-tune their functionality before releasing them to the general public. Keep this in mind if you want to avoid failures.
