BUG FIX
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.16.6 update, we posted news about a reaction preview right within the list of our chats, released to some beta testers. Unfortunately, the same build and the previous one also introduced a bug: it was not possible to send stickers from a third-party keyboard.
As you can see in this screenshot, after sending a sticker from a third-party keyboard (for example, GBoard), WhatsApp crashed and it was impossible to send the sticker. Fortunately, the company just released the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.16.7 update that addresses this issue.
Be sure to update your version of WhatsApp from the Play Store if you want to send stickers from third-party keyboards.
