Report: WhatsApp Introduces Redesigned Sticker and GIF Picker

WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is receiving a new, redesigned sticker and GIF picker. According to WaBetaInfo, the feature improves the user experience by allowing users to experiment with an upgraded keyboard on WhatsApp. According to the report, with the enlarged picker view, users may experiment with a better experience by looking for GIFs and stickers.

The revamped sticker and GIF picker is now available to all users as part of the WhatsApp for iOS 23.13.78 upgrade. It may be downloaded through the Apple App Store. Anyone interested may get it simply upgrading their iPhone’s WhatsApp app.

What’s new with WhatsApp’s new sticker and GIF picker?

According to the report,, the most recent improvement adds the option to slide the picker higher, allowing users to easily access a bigger grid of objects. The buttons for accessing the GIF, sticker, and avatar areas have also been moved with the latest version. Tabs have also been changed to provide easy navigation. Also, WhatsApp has enhanced the classification of avatar packs and now provides users with a broader range of avatar stickers.

In other news, WhatsApp is giving select beta testers the ability to link accounts to WhatsApp Online by utilising phone numbers. The functionality is accessible with WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.14.18, although certain users may be able to acquire it by installing specific older versions of the app.

Once the functionality is ready, a new option for linking a device will be accessible, which will use the primary account phone number and a one-time code provided by WhatsApp Online. Users must give their phone number as well as the country code. To finish the login procedure, they will be asked to input an 8-character code. This eliminates the need to scan a QR code to access WhatsApp Online. Users have reported difficulties such as the camera not working correctly while checking in with the QR code throughout the years. The functionality will be useful in overcoming similar problems.
