WhatsApp Rolls Out New Stickers, GIF And Avatar Update For iOS Users, Know What It Is And How To Use It

WhatsApp has released an interesting update for iOS users, version 23.13.78, on the App Store. According to WaBetaInfo, this update includes a revamped sticker and GIF picker. The latest update's official changelog reveals that the revamped sticker and GIF picker are now available to all iOS users. The improved navigation in the new sticker tray allows users to easily explore a wide variety of stickers and GIFs. Notably, the picker view has been expanded and now supports scrolling upwards.

What are the new updates?

WhatsApp has also enhanced the classification of avatar packs. The update expands the number of avatar stickers available to users. The revised search and avatar setup buttons are intended to improve the avatar section's user experience. These new feature changes will be beneficial to users since many have reported difficulty accessing the whole list of all stickers available in a given pack. The revamped GIF and sticker picker simplifies the search for GIFs and stickers, saving users time during personal or group conversations.

How to use the new update?

iPhone users can access the latest version by updating the talking app from the App Store. If you can't find the app on the App Store after this latest version, you can try again later. The new version is still being handed out, so customers will receive it gradually. Notably, the feature to generate WhatsApp stickers from images is only available on iPhones running iOS 16 or later.
