WhatsApp has announced more features today such as animated stickers, for example.
- Animated Stickers: Stickers, one of the mainstays of WhatsApp, will now come in animated form.
- QR codes: When you meet someone new, you will be able to scan their QR code to add them to your contacts. No more tapping in their digits one at a time.
- Dark mode for WhatsApp Web & desktop: The Dark Mode theme now extends to your computer.
- Improvements to group video calls: With now up to 8 people on a video call, it’s now even more easier to focus on whoever you want by letting you press and hold to maximize a participant’s video to full screen. A new video icon in group chats of 8 or less has also been added, so you can easily start a group video call with 1-tap.
- Status comes to KaiOS: KaiOS users can now enjoy the popular feature that lets you share updates that disappear after 24 hours.
