WhatsApp beta for Android 2.20.10: what's new?
WhatsApp has recently submitted a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.20.10.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is working on a feature that brings animations to stickers, and it will be available in a future update!
WhatsApp is working on animated stickers
Today, WhatsApp has released the 2.20.10 beta update. The build includes hidden references related to animated stickers, an evolution of the current sticker system. We already covered animated stickers 6 months ago, although at that time there were very few additional details available.
What we know today is that new animated sticker packs are in development. We can also finally share an exclusive video, where you can see some animated stickers. However, the app will likely play them faster in a future version.
Third-party animated stickers will be supported. The update will allow developers to include animated stickers in their own sticker apps so they can be shared within WhatsApp.
These are stickers that will be added in WhatsApp, when the support for animated stickers is publicly available:
Sticker packs may vary depending on the country. This means that some packs could be available in certain regions, and they may not be available in others.The availability can depend on how WhatsApp chooses to distribute the pack. As a result, users may notice differences in the sticker selection based on their location.
Animated stickers are still not ready for release
- The new Animated Stickers feature is not available yet.
- WhatsApp is actively working on this feature in recent updates to ensure a smooth and bug-free experience. For this reason, it is normal if you do not see it in your app, as it is still under development.
- If the update is not visible on the Play Store, please be patient while Google gradually rolls it out.
