WhatsApp apparently wants to roll out a new update again.
Some can test it now.
Others, on the other hand, will have to wait for the full release.
Munich - Whether among friends, in the family or even in the work environment: The messaging application WhatsApp has long been an extremely popular means of communication with all kinds of functions.
To protect popularity, developers are constantly working on the application and rolling out updates with new features.
Apparently there's an update coming up.
It's about animated emojis, of which there should now be more.
Another function is also on the way.
WhatsApp update: Now hearts should throb in all colors - but certain prerequisites
A look at the emoji column in WhatsApp shows that there are plenty of heart emojis in the app.
So you don't necessarily have to limit yourself to the red heart emoji, but can also send the chat partner a heart in green, orange, yellow, blue or violet, for example.
Even white and black hearts are not missing.
If you don't send the hearts together with a message but alone, the heart will start beating - but this is only the case with the red heart.
According to the portal
WEBetaInfo
, WhatsApp now wants to install this function for all hearts with the new update.
Although some iOS beta testers can already test the function, there is a catch: the chat partner must also have the current beta version of the application installed.
Only when both sides have the latest version will the change become visible.
It remains unclear when the function will finally be rolled out and when it will also be available for Android users.
WhatsApp update: New brushes are coming soon - more freedom in photo editing
Another change via an update relates to the editing function for photos and videos.
The new update is intended to offer users of the messaging app more freedom when editing photos.
If you want to draw something on the photo you want to send, you only have a few choices so far.
Users can only change the brush color.
According to
WABetaInfo
, another update will increase this selection and add two more brushes to the existing one.
It should also be possible to adjust the thickness of these brushes as desired.
Again, it's unclear when the new feature will arrive.
In addition, WhatsApp is reportedly working on an innovation for voice messages.
