Introduction
The latest update from WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging application owned by Meta, brings exciting new features to users. One of the highlights of this update is the introduction of animated stickers from GIPHY, the well-known GIF platform.
New Animated Stickers
According to Meta's blog post, the integration with GIPHY allows users to easily find and share engaging stickers without leaving the app. This feature is set to enhance the overall user experience and make conversations more fun and interactive.
Expanded Features for Users
WhatsApp, which recently reached 100 million users in the United States, is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its growing user base. With the latest update, U.S.-based users can now access animated stickers from GIPHY directly within the app, in addition to sending GIFs.
Android users, in particular, receive an additional update that grants them access to a custom sticker maker. This feature allows users to create personalized stickers using their own photos or to customize existing stickers using various editing tools.
Enhanced Search Functionality
Users can now easily search for specific stickers using keywords or emojis, making it effortless to find the perfect sticker for any conversation. Additionally, if users can't find the desired GIF, they have the option to leverage Meta AI to create custom stickers.
Organized Sticker Tray
All stickers created or shared by a user can be conveniently organized in customizable dashboards called a "sticker tray." This feature helps users keep track of their stickers and access them quickly during conversations.
Availability
The AI sticker feature is currently available to both iPhone and Android users in the United States, further enhancing the messaging experience for WhatsApp users in the region.
