Latest WhatsApp Beta Hints at Exciting New Features

The beta version of an app is always a great place to figure out what new and amazing things are going to be coming to the app once all has been said and is now out of the way. As far as WhatsApp is concerned, the most popular messaging app in the world might just have a couple of new and exciting features on the way if its beta versions are anything to go by since they seem to be indicating that a couple of updates might just be on the way soon.

According to WABetaInfo, one of the new things that you might be seeing coming to WhatsApp is a new sticker pack. Animated stickers have started to become a pretty important part of how people interact with each other on WhatsApp, and they also end up playing a pretty important role when it comes to the kinds of conversations they have since they add quite a bit of expressiveness to what you might be trying to say. This new sticker pack is quite light at around 3.5 MB, and the fact that the stickers are animate will be something that people most likely end up enjoying quite a bit.

The other feature that has been spotted might not be coming all that quickly, and this is because of the fact that it is a fairly experimental feature which might just end up being the sort of thing that hasn’t been seen before. This feature would allow you to change backgrounds based on who you are talking to, and it seems like it might just allow you to adjust the opacity of your background as well which is another thing that you would probably want to take advantage of. While it is currently unknown when these features would be rolled out or even if they would be rolled out in the first place, it’s fair to say that they are exciting and they offer some useful insight into where WhatsApp might be headed.
