Although it is already an established application and much loved by users, WhatsApp It is constantly evolving, and that is thanks to the updates that are periodically released and add new features for the benefit of everyone. However, in certain aspects the competition has remained at the forefront and the green company is trying to overcome these obstacles in order not to lose relevance in technology.
As reported by the media, the beta version 2.24.15.15 of WhatsApp for Android introduces the ability to send and receive animated emojis. This new feature aims to “improve the messaging experience” by adding a dynamic and fun layer to conversations. And it is worth mentioning that applications such as Telegram They had it for years now.
This feature is currently in testing and is available only to users enrolled in the beta program. AndroidAnimated emojis are designed using the free Lottie library for Android, ensuring high-quality images while keeping the files lightweight and scalable, without impacting device performance.
Not all emoji have animations; only a select few are designed with this capability. To check if an emoji is animated, users can try sending it, and if it has an animated version, it will be displayed as such. In short, the new animated emoji feature from WhatsAppwhile not original, promises to add a fun and expressive element to messaging, improving user interaction.
All this means, that it is not yet available in iOS and not for the entire public either Android. Surely the final version will arrive with time for improvement.

Author’s note: This implementation of emojis sounds interesting, although we still have the stickers that are somewhat similar. We will have to wait some time.
