STICKERS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.23 update, we announced a feature under development to suggest contacts to chat with. This feature is designed to improve engagement among users, enhancing the process of initiating new conversations. Unfortunately, it appears that there was a bug with the stickers picker after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.23 update from the Google Play Store, which is affecting a certain number of users:
With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.23 update, several beta testers have reported encountering a particular bug that prevented them from sharing stickers in their conversations. Specifically, the issue manifested when users attempted to access the stickers keyboard, only to find an empty panel instead of the expected selection of stickers. This issue essentially rendered the stickers feature unusable for affected users, leading to frustration and inconvenience. It is important to note that this issue was not experienced by all beta testers. Instead, it occurred selectively, affecting only certain users for reasons that remain unknown. This selective occurrence of the bug likely contributed to confusion among those affected, as they couldn't initially discern why the stickers feature wasn't working as expected.
Attempts to resolve the issue by restarting the device or force-stopping the app proved to be ineffective. As a result, a new bug fix update was needed for a definitive solution, as announced via our profile on X. This issue was present with the recent update, and since some users have auto-update enabled, they may have received the new version automatically, preventing them from sharing stickers. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.25 update from the Google Play Store, it was observed to be a bug-fix update that finally addresses the mentioned issue. This means that users can now share stickers in their conversations without encountering any issues.
The fix is rolling out after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.25 update from the Google Play Store. Please, make sure to install this build in order to use a version of WhatsApp without experiencing the bug.
