O WhatsApp is reportedly working on animated emojis, with the feature appearing in the latest beta version of WhatsApp available for desktop.
The information was provided by WABetaInfo website, who shared a small GIF showing an animated emoji. It is unclear whether WhatsApp users will be able to choose to share a static or an animated emoji, so we will still have to wait for more information to get a clear idea.
It is worth remembering that other messaging apps – such as Apple’s iMessage or Google’s Messages – already offer this type of animated emojis, so WhatsApp is currently getting closer to rivals.
