WhatsApp is introducing a new update for Android phones that allows users to share stickers in a more interactive and enjoyable way. The feature update, currently being tested by beta testers, is linked to the ability to import sticker packs into WhatsApp from third-party apps, which was introduced in 2018.
When creating stickers under the 2018 feature update, a certain number of emojis had to be associated with each sticker. WhatsApp is now utilizing this requirement by releasing a particular sticker search feature to some beta testers who install the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.14.16 update from the Google Play Store, according to WABetaInfo.
The new sticker search feature will enhance the user experience by making it easier to find and share specific stickers within conversations. Users will be able to search for stickers based on associated emojis, allowing for quicker access to the desired sticker packs.
With this update, WhatsApp aims to provide a more fun and interactive way for users to express themselves through stickers in their chats. The ability to import sticker packs from third-party apps has already increased the variety and customization options for users, and the sticker search feature further enhances the overall sticker experience within the app.
As the beta testing progresses and any necessary adjustments are made, WhatsApp will eventually roll out the sticker search feature to all Android users, allowing everyone to enjoy the improved sticker functionality and add more excitement to their conversations.
