WhatsApp begins testing animated stickers for Android, iOS

WhatsApp is testing out a new feature for Android and iOS, called animated stickers. According to a report by WABetaInfo, the new animated stickers feature will allow users to send animated stickers to their contacts.

The feature is being tested in WhatsApp v2.20.194.7 beta for Android and WhatsApp v2.20.70.26 beta for iOS. Users need to be on these specific beta versions to test out the feature.

To recall, WhatsApp started supporting stickers back in 2019. The public version of the app currently offers users its own default sticker packs. It also allows users to download and send third-party ones.
