If they did not exist, they would have to be invented. They are emoticons and they are already part of our lives just like WhatsApp, mobile phones or the alphabet itself. And there is not a day that we do not use them to communicate with our loved ones and reinforce our text messages with the essential emotions.
Aware of its vital importance, WhatsApp has now decided to redesign the 155 Emoji emoticons on Android The update has already reached users who are subscribed to the Google Play Beta program, which for the occasion already has version number 2.19.139.
This edition, which will be able to be installed without any problem in the following days, includes some new functions. However, one of the most interesting features that we find on board has to do precisely with the design of the emoticons.
155 renewed emojis (not new)
As we said, the update corresponding to version 2.19.139 for the beta version of WhatsApp improves a total of 155 emojis. This means that these have been renewed, but they are not new You will find (and you can verify it in the images) that the emojis are the same, although they have a touch slightly different.
This is not the first time this has happened. If you remember, just a few months ago, WhatsApp already added improvements to no more and no less than 357 emojis, on the one hand through the beta 2 update.18,384 and 21 emojis from version 2.19.139. This update will now be available to users who are signed up for the beta program, although it is expected to be available soon for those of the regular version.
Modifications attack small details
Don't think that you are going to find very renewed emoticons. Actually, what WhatsApp has done is give them all a slight touch Although some change considerably, others only contain changes in color, tone or size . In the screenshots provided by the specialist medium WABetaInfo, you can see how the emoticons looked before and how they look now.
In some, especially those that contain faces, expressions have been improved. So that an angry face really has a face angry, when before the expression was much softer.In some of these emoticons, for example the one with the compass or the fairies, the perspectives have been modified, so that in the end, what has been achieved is to improve the visualization of the emoticon.
Dark mode is also coming to version
The truth is that, although this novelty is important, the update corresponding to version 2.19.139 brings with it other interesting features. For example, a dark mode has been implemented for the status bar. Furthermore, this night mode will not only be applied in this section, but will also be operational within the Status and Calls sections
Nevertheless, it should be noted that it is still early to give this version as final. In fact, it is expected that the buttons included in the dark mode will become white, instead of green, as they appear so far in the screenshots.
And if you wanted to try the dark mode on your WhatsApp, you will have to be patient and wait, because the changes have not yet materialized definitively. At the moment the exact moment in which it will be enabled is in doubt. We will remain attentive to inform you.
