For a future update, WhatsApp is developing a fascinating new sticker feature that will be accessible to users of the app’s beta version through the Google Play Beta Program.
A new interactive sticker feature that introduces prompts through status updates will be included in the next release.
A new “Add Yours” sticker for status updates is being considered by the Meta-owned instant messaging program. This sticker will enable users to make interactive challenges or prompts and encourage their contacts to respond with their own content.
This feature will allow users to create a theme, question, or activity that other users can join by uploading their own status updates, much like Instagram’s “Add Yours” sticker.
Users may, for instance, make a prompt requesting their contacts to post a photo of their cat as a status update. The contacts could then hit the sticker and add their own relevant updates.
But the emphasis on anonymity is one way it differs from the Instagram sticker.
The audience of the individual who posted the update won’t be able to see who started the chain or what other contributors uploaded if they notice a status update with the “Add Yours” sticker and join in by posting their own content.
This is made possible by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption, which guarantees that these exchanges remain confidential and are only visible to the people the user has chosen in their privacy settings.
With the help of this new sticker, users will be able to interact with their contacts in more dynamic ways than just sending text updates or pictures.
People will be able to start trends, share personal anecdotes, or just add a little spontaneity & excitement to their future user experiences by using the “Add Yours” sticker.
Users of the app’s beta version can test out this feature by downloading the most recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.23.21 update, which is accessible on the Google Play Store, even though it is still in development and will be included in a future update.
