There are hidden emoticons in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android And, the application is adapting them to introduce them for all users. Meanwhile, they appear hidden under a series of symbols that help to represent them. An interesting way to surprise other users of this messaging application. Especially if they match your sexual orientation.
And the Emoji emoticons that WhatsApp is testing have to do with with gender identityThey are new emoticons approved by the consortium that collects and regulates all these symbols to be able to use them later in messaging applications, social networks and different Internet pages. A complicated process of acceptance and standardization that takes some time from when applications are submitted to the Unicode consortium, until they reach applications like WhatsApp. All this with testing processes such as the current one in the beta version of WhatsApp, with which to verify that it works correctly before launching it to the general public. That is why, for now, these smileys are hidden.

How to use them
Actually, these Emoji emoticons are already on WhatsApp. The problem is that there is no icon within the emoticon menu that represents them to invoke them in a conversationIn other words, you have to copy and paste them into WhatsApp to see and use them.
To do this, it is possible to use the tweet or message that WABetaInfo, the account that discovered this temporary phenomenon, has published on the social network Twitter. It shows the male symbol and the female symbol, the two new icons available.

Thus, all you have to do is make a long press on the text and select the corresponding icon. Then click on the copy option and take it to WhatsApp. Of course, you must have the beta version available through APKMirror, so download and install it as another update. With this, in any chat, make a long press and choose the paste option Automatically, instead of symbols, you will see emoticons with their color and shape appear on the WhatsApp conversation.New icons that are not visible in the available collection, but are now ready to send in any message.

Finally we have to talk about the transgender pride flag, also available on WhatsApp beta, but for some reason not visible on the collection. To do this you have to copy the white flag plus a non-visible icon. Once you paste it into a WhatsApp conversation you will see what this blue, pink and white flag looks like.
At the moment, from WABetaInfo they do not give a date for the arrival of these secret emoticons to WhatsApp in all its versions It is to be expected that, In the coming weeks, the app will update and welcome all these new sexual diversity and gender identification emoticons. Elements that should have been around for a long time as they are globally recognized icons and symbols, but which are taking a long time to have their virtual version on WhatsApp. For now, they are already present in a hidden format.
