The new feature that will animate your WhatsApp chats is here

What WhatsApp feature are you looking forward to in the next version? If it has to do with animated stickers, you're in luck, because they can already be seen in the beta version of WhatsApp.
If you are in the beta program you can check if you have the latest update or follow the steps below to see if the animated stickers have reached your account.
Animated stickers in Telegram style
Animated stickers finally seem to be getting closer to being a reality on WhatsApp. Just like they work in Telegram, having them enabled will not only allow you to receive and send them to all your friends and family, but you can also have your own animated sticker kit.
You can see an example in the GIF shared by WABetaInfo:
You don't need to create them, just save animated stickers sent to you by your friends or you can import third party sticker packs. And of course, you can download them from the WhatsApp Store.
So you can save, import or download as many animated stickers as you want to your account. Of course, this will happen once the function is officially activated by WhatsApp.
How to try animated stickers
A detail to keep in mind is that not all testers can see the animated stickers, since it seems that it is being implemented to a small group of users.
But if you already have the beta version of WhatsApp, and you want to know if you are among the lucky ones, make sure you have the latest update. To do this, take a look at the version. In the case of Android, the latest version corresponds to 2.20.194.7, and in iOS to 2.20.70.26.
If you still do not have these versions installed on your mobile, try to update as you will have more chances to see the expected animated stickers. And if you haven't signed up for the beta version, and you want to do so to test this novelty, you can try your luck becoming a WhatsApp tester on iOS and Android. You will see that each platform has a different process, so read the instructions carefully.
How can you tell if your beta version of WhatsApp has this feature enabled? At the moment, the only way to know is if someone sends you one of these animated stickers.
