Once updated, users can add animated stickers by clicking on the emoji icon at the bottom of the chat. Tap on the add button to add more stickers, and it will take you to the sticker store. Here you can download the animated stickers and find the downloaded sticker in My Stickers option.

These animated stickers will play just once in the chat and don’t play on loop like Gifs. To start the animation of the sticker you have to scroll up and down or you can simply tap on the sticker to play it. For now, the app does not support any third-party animated stickers.

WhatsApp Business: Start chatting with QR Code

WhatsApp Business users on Android can view their QR by clicking on More options > Business Tools > Short link > View QR Code. Whereas iOS users can click on Settings > Business Tools > Short Link > View QR code.

Catalogue Sharing Improvements

WhatsApp Business users can also make use of the catalog feature to show customers about the products they offer. The feature is pretty useful for business but it was hard to share until now.

With the latest update, the company has improved sharing both catalogs and individual products. Business users can now share their products through social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and others.
