So in the future, WhatsApp will be able to send animations of a smiling face to tears, a loud crying face, a teardrop face, a face with an open mouth, a red heart, and fire. WABetaInfo believes that the selection of these particular emojis is due to their high popularity among users. The editors emphasize that the quality of the animation image in the beta version of the messenger is quite high.
The portal also noted that not all users may like animated emojis, as animation distracts attention from correspondence. In the future, it is possible to disable their screen in the settings of the final build of the messenger.
