WhatsApp may soon launch new animated sticker packs. The Facebook-owned messaging app was spotted testing a new ‘Usagyuuun’ animated sticker pack.
The new ‘Usagyuuun’ stickers are currently available on the beta version 2.20.200.6 Android app to a limited number of users. The update spotted by WABetaInfo reveals that these set of WhatsApp animated stickers are only 3.5MB in size and have been created by Quan Inc.
Another upcoming WhatsApp feature spotted in the same beta update is ‘Wallpaper Dimming’. The feature allows users to change the opacity of the wallpaper. Users will be able to swipe left or right to preview colour options in the Wallpaper settings on WhatsApp.
The update also brings bug fixes for the Storage Usage section. In the previous beta update, users reported that WhatsApp crashed when they tried opening the storage section.
Both the animated stickers and Wallapaper Dimming features are currently under development right now and might be available for everyone in the coming days.
WhatsApp had announced the animated sticker packs for Android and iOS users a couple of months ago, and now it seems to be gearing up to bring more stickers to the tray.
These animated sticker packs include Rico’s Sweet Life, Playful Piyomaru, Bright Days, Moody Foodies, and Chummy Chum Chums.
