Whatsapp beta new update test animated stickers, self destructing message
WhatsApp is one of the most used messaging apps worldwide, with more than one billion monthly active users globally. Recently, the Facebook-owned messaging service rolled out a beta update, testing much-awaited features such as dark mode, self-destructing messages, and more. With beta version 2.20.14, WhatsApp is also offering animated stickers - a feature that is already available on its rival Telegram.
WABetaInfo, the dedicated WhatsApp blog that regularly reports on all the latest updates coming to the app, said that in beta update 2.20.10, animated stickers will be available as individual packs to be downloaded for the beta. But, with the WhatsApp beta 2.20.14 update, it is being said that a play button symbol has been added to the sticker tab, which helps identify whether the sticker pack is animated or not. As of now, the official release date of the animated sticker on WhatsApp's static build is not known.
Another feature that WhatsApp is known for is self-destructive messages. With this new feature, a message sender can choose the length of time until the sent message will be available, after which it will be automatically removed from the chat. The blog post stated that the latest beta version also featured a time interval in which messages could auto-delete. Like most features on WhatsApp's beta right now, there is no information yet on when the feature can be released in a stable build.
