Instant messaging app WhatsApp is launching new features to give users a better chatting experience.

WhatsApp has rolled out animated stickers for both Android and iOS platforms and if you want to take advantage of them, first you have to update your WhatsApp. Because this feature will be available only on the updated version.
WhatsApp has shared the post on its Twitter account about the new animated stickers and it has mentioned that along with the animated post, animated stickers have now become available and users can use them. These stickers include Rico Sweet Life, Playful Piyomaru, Bright Days, Moody Foodies, and Chummy Chum Chums, etc. If you also want to use these stickers, then there are some tips to follow.
Steps to add animated stickers to WhatsApp chat.
- Open desired WhatsApp chat, click on the emoji icon in the bottom bar.
- Select the Stickers option from the end of the screen, and click on the ‘+’ icon seen on the extreme right of the stickers section.
- This will open the built-in Stickers Store inside WhatsApp that lists several sticker packs to choose from.
- You will notice the above mentioned new sticker packs have been added to the ‘All Stickers’ list and these come with a play button right next to them, differentiating them from the regular one.
- Click on the sticker pack you want to download, and preview the stickers by tapping on them.
- Once you make a decision, you can click on the ‘Download’ option at the bottom of the screen.
- This sticker pack will now be added to the Stickers section, and you can now choose to use them in conversations.
There is one thing that can disappoint the users is that the animated stickers will only play once and it will not play on loop. In order to re-play it, you will have to scroll up and down. But if that’s not much of a problem for you and you are happy with just one show, you keep using more stickers in your conversation. The animated stickers are also available on the web version of WhatsApp. However, you can neither access the Sticker store nor download any sticker packs on the web.
