WhatsApp has started rolling out stickers for its Android apps available in the beta channel. The stickers are now available on WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.18.329. The Facebook-owned app was long-rumoured to be working on stickers to offer more options to communicate other than texts, audio, and emojis. The WhatsApp stickers will be available under the emoji icon next to emojis and GIFs.

The WhatsApp stickers are limited to only 12 packs as of now that come preloaded in the update, however, there is an add button to allow you to get more stickers from Google Play store. Some of the sticker packs include “Cuppy”, “Salty”, “Komo”, “Bibimbap Friends”, “Shiba Inu”, “Hatch”, “Banana”, and “Biscuit”. All of the stickers are free of charge.

Users can send WhatsApp stickers to an individual chat or a group chat – the stickers will be visible to the recipients even if their WhatsApp isn’t updated to the latest version. However, they will be able to send stickers only after getting the latest version. When sent in bulk or consecutively, WhatsApp will group the stickers into a message blob with four sticker thumbnails visible while the rest hidden. This is similar to how WhatsApp deals with multiple photos or videos sent at once.

It’s not clear as of now when WhatsApp will roll out stickers to the stable build. However, considering the timelines WhatsApp has followed to deliver the beta features to the stable channel, it shouldn’t take much time for WhatsApp to roll out stickers for everyone. To recall, WhatsApp is also reportedly testing Vacation Mode, Silent Mode, and Linked Accounts.

Whatapp no dey suffer themselves now for any new features on the app. They just quietly they follow Telegram slowly and update what features telegram has been using for centuries ago.

But Telegram started the whole copying. They literally stole all of Whatsapp's features. Then modified a few.
I think Whatsapp is only returning the "favor" this time

But telegram isn't bothered, but all they do is keep pushing... They are now Mike's away from whatsapp

Yeah, they never gave a hoot in the first place, at least it was reflected in one crazy "About Us" statement they had one time.

And yes, they'll give Whatsapp a run for their money soon. For one, some of their features are way ahead of Whatsapp. But actually achieving all or even come close to all Whatsapp has gotten would require a great deal of guerrilla marketing. Just like Zuck does with his toys. Most people still do not know about Telegram.

WhatsApp be copying BBM.

Nice one from fb

yeah, they really have those crypto guys to thank.

Whatsapp become like yahoo messenger? Nah, not when Mark is still alive. But life happens sometimes and I'm certain if competition ever becomes stiff, MARK WILL BUY TELEGRAM!

Telegram has been in my phone all these while and I didn't even know. It's recently that I discovered it

Exactly! They have great features but could use some advertisement. Honestly, if everyone on my contact list had telegram installed, I'm certain I'd have left Whatsapp years ago. I mostly remember I still have the app installed when I have to join a group or something.
Crazy though, but they seem quite comfortable with their lot.

There was a time I wanted to download it so that I could join one group like that, not knowing that it has been in my phone all the while. They really need a lot of advertising to do.

That is if telegram agrees to sell

I doubt these Russians will ever sell Telegram. I wished the ICO went through. Whoever thought Yahoo messenger would go extinct? Blockchain will make all these companies obsolete, you wonder why Visa is now considering Blockchain?

nice one there, this new whatsapp go really make sense on my spark device.
