WhatsApp update also introduces new, and iconic images of nature and architecture
To give you a head start, you can choose from new and iconic images of nature and architecture that WhatsApp is bringing. All wallpapers can be dimmed and lightened as per users’ desire.
WhatsApp is also improving the sticker searching within the app. You can now search for any sticker with text or emoji. The common sticker category is there if you need to search for any sticker the old-school way.
Facebook is encouraging sticker creators to make the process of searching stickers using text or emojis easier. This can be done if sticker creators tag their stickers with emoji and text.
So, for instance, if you wish to search for any sticker related to “birthday” you can make use of the “cake” emoji to search for the stickers related to “birthday”. This makes the stickers easily searchable.
Finally, the latest update also adds an animated version of the World Health Organization (WHO) “Together at Home” sticker pack. It aims to make these stickers more expressive and useful.
Facebook has stated that the new WhatsApp update will start rolling out for both iOS and Android users globally over the next few days. Though some iOS users may see the changes appear in the app already.
