STICKERS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.24.19 update, we announced about a new feature allowing some beta testers to share stickers in channels from the Android app. This feature is designed to allow channel owners to bring new content to their channels, enhancing communication when sharing updates with their followers and creating a more dynamic engagement with them. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.72 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out the same feature to users who use the iOS app!
As you can see in this screenshot, the ability to share stickers is also available to iOS users as the sticker button is visible within the chat bar. This is a significant move towards making features consistent on various platforms, improving the overall experience for channel owners using both Android and iOS. It’s important to mention that sending animated stickers is also supported with the latest version of the app, bringing a new layer of dynamic engagement to channels. In addition, this feature is also available to users who install the latest build of WhatsApp from the App Store.
In our opinion, bringing the ability to share stickers into channels brings a helpful advantage. Stickers are visually appealing and can convey emotions, expressions, or messages in a more playful and creative way compared to simple text updates. When channel owners share stickers that align with the content or theme of their channel, it adds a personalized and entertaining element to their updates. We believe that this can lead to a stronger sense of community, since channel followers may find the content definitely more engaging.
A feature to share stickers in channels is available to those users who install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app. Make sure to install the latest version of the app to experiment with this feature.
