REDESIGNED PICKER
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.12.0.70 update, we announced a redesigned sticker and GIF picker. This feature enhances the user experience by allowing them to explore an improved keyboard on WhatsApp. In particular, with the extended picker view, users can also experiment with an enhanced experience by searching for GIFs and stickers better. In the past few hours, the WhatsApp for iOS 23.13.78 update was released on the App Store. Thanks to the official changelog, we discovered that this feature is finally rolling out to everyone!
The official changelog mentions that an updated sticker tray with improved navigation is now available. This latest feature introduces the ability to scroll the picker upwards, allowing users to conveniently access a larger grid of items. As we said in the article when the feature was released to some beta testers, the buttons for accessing the GIF, sticker, and avatar sections have also been relocated and redesigned as tabs, ensuring clear navigation. In addition, WhatsApp improved the categorization of avatar packs and offers users a larger set of avatar stickers.
If you don’t have this feature, note that some accounts may receive it over the coming weeks, as indicated in the official changelog. Please stay ahead by regularly updating WhatsApp from the App Store and the TestFlight app to get the feature in the future in case you don’t have it after installing this update.
The feature to provide users with a redesigned GIF and sticker picker is finally available for iOS users that install the latest update of WhatsApp from the App Store. Make sure to install this update to enjoy a better user experience.
