We’re always working on making WhatsApp easier to use and more fun, so we’re excited to kick off the new year with a variety of new features and design improvements.
Camera effects: You loved the effects we launched on video calls last year. Now, when you take and send a video or photo in your chats, you can choose from the same 30 backgrounds, filters and effects to transform your shots.
Selfie stickers: For fans of custom stickers, now you can turn your selfie straight into a sticker. Just tap the sticker on create sticker and you’ll see the camera option to take a selfie and create your sticker. Available on Android and coming to iOS soon.
Share a sticker pack: Spotted a sticker pack you know your friend will love? Now you can easily share them directly in your chats.
Quicker reactions: Now you can double tap a message to react and quickly scroll through your most-used reactions.
We’re looking forward to introducing more exciting features this year, while offering private, secure messaging wherever you are in the world.
