According to beta testers, a new feature is coming to WhatsApp and will improve the user experience. This new feature is known as the WhatsApp sticker suggestion and has popped up for beta testers. Since this feature is already in its testing phase, it is okay to expect its global launch anytime.
At the moment, the ability to suggest stickers for users is only available on the WhatsApp Android beta testing version. This feature popped up with one of the latest updates to the beta testing app. Once available to the global community, lots of users will find this feature very useful while chatting with others.
The interesting part of this suggestion is that WhatsApp will use your emojis to find the perfect stickers for you. So users might not need to open the sticker section on the keyboard before getting suggestions. Do you find this intriguing, and is it a feature that you would actively use once available?
WhatsApp will soon use stickers to give sticker suggestions to you
Stickers have become a major part of WhatsApp as it is put to use between conversations. Ever since it was introduced to the platform, the amount of collections available to users has grown. Also, some users have taken it upon themselves to make their sticker packs from popular memes and images.
Sometimes while chatting with others, throwing in a sticker or two might add to the fun. WhatsApp knows this fact and they are testing a new feature to suggest the best stickers for you. This will make finding the best stickers to use while replying while chatting a bit easy.
To make this suggestion feature work, WhatsApp is linking emojis with stickers. So when a user starts a message with an emoji, WhatsApp will pull up stickers in the same category as that emoji. For example, if you start a message with a laughing emoji, you’d get laughing sticker suggestions.
This will make it a bit easier to find stickers to use while chatting with others. However, not all emojis have stickers that are in the same category as they are. So, only a few emojis would be able to pull up sticker suggestions.
It is also important to note that WhatsApp won’t account for some stickers you got from other sources. The main focus of this feature would be stickers users get from the WhatsApp sticker collection. This feature will make its appearance for use by the public in the coming weeks.
