WhatsApp and iPhone have always had a special relationship, just as the Instagram Stories camera gets along very well with Apple devices. After integrating Face ID unlocking in the latest phones, another totally exclusive feature will now arrive in the next versions of WhatsApp for iPhone. These are Apple's customizable Memoji-style stickers, which use the phone's camera to give it expression.
The person in charge of confirming this rumor has been the WABetaInfo website, which has been able to test the latest available beta of the application, in which this functionality is already activated.
How will the new Memoji-like stickers work in WhatsApp?
Apple's Memoji are not the first generation of animated faces, now they are much more real using the iPhone's Face ID but it does not seem that these Memoji will be integrated into WhatsApp. For all that the screenshots indicate, it seems that these new personalized stickers with the expression of our face will be typical of WhatsApp.
The interface, however, will be very similar to what we can currently find in the stickers section and these new customizable Memoji will be able to make use of the TrueDepth camera that iPhones have on the front to receive a expression according to our face
These are the phones compatible with Memoji type stickers
These new WhatsApp stickers will be exclusive, at least for a while, to the iPhone and iPad (if the arrival of WhatsApp for this tablet is confirmed).Only those iPhones with the Face ID function will be able to use them, such as the iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. The function will also be available for the new iPhones that will be presented this year, which will arrive on September 10 and could release this function in a stable way.
This is not the only change that WhatsApp has made in the latest beta version for Apple devices. One of the subtle changes that it has made has been to add the text WhatsApp from Facebook in the application menus, making it clear that WhatsApp is a company application and seeking to improve the image of Facebook as a result of all the problems that the social network has had.
