Needless to say, WhatsApp is one of the best messaging apps out there. And there are good reasons behind it. The app is not only feature-packed but also comes with tons of security features. And let's not forget to mention that it is highly versatile too.
But even though WhatsApp excels in pretty much all the important factors, the app does not have many fun elements in it. Well, it seems that's about to change. That is, the team might inject more fun into the conversations by taking the help of Lottie. Afterward, the chats within the app can become more lively than ever before!
WhatsApp Testing Animated Emoji On Desktop Beta
So, the people at WABetaInfo have just discovered a brand new feature of WhatsApp on the desktop app. The beta app is said to have animated emoji that is slated to make its official debut later with a future update. Now, animated emojis are nothing new for messaging apps. The feature has been around for quite a while now.
But WhatsApp has been slow in incorporating it into its messaging app. And while it might seem like a small difference, it could indeed be a game-changing feature of the messaging app. To be exact, the feature could make the chats within the app more engaging and lively.
Gizchina News of the week
That said, if you are not fond of the idea, there might be a piece of bad news for you. As far as the sample that's shown by WABetaInfo, animated emojis might be on by default on WhatsApp. And there might be no option to turn it off, which means you might not be able to message with static emojis.
The good news is that WhatsApp is utilizing Lottie, which should make the animated elements smooth and efficient regarding file size. Hopefully, we will get more info about the feature as it makes its way toward the beta of android and iOS.
