Days after
announcing new features, WhatsApp
has rolled out animated stickers for users. The packs are now appearing
alongside the normal sticker packs on the app. “Animated stickers are available
now,” WhatsApp said in a tweet.
The animated stickers are available for users of both Android and iOS platforms along with the desktop version.

Users can find the
stickers option at the end of the screen. Click on the plus icon when you find
it as that will take to you to the Stickers Store. The Sticker Store includes
several sticker packs that you can add to your WhatsApp chats just by
downloading them. To download these packs, click on the download icon and also
preview the stickers by tapping on them.
These stickers
show up in the desktop app once the sticker is downloaded on mobile.
These animated
stickers will play just once in the chat, and don't loop indefinitely. If you
want to trigger their animation, you will have to scroll up and down to play
it.
Earlier, WhatsApp
Business, the communication platform's business version, launched two new ways
for users to connect with businesses- QR Codes and Catalog sharing. People
simply can scan the QR code a business displays on its storefront, product
packaging or receipt to initiate a chat.
Scanning a QR code
will open a chat with an optional pre-populated message created by the business
to start the conversation. With the app’s messaging tools, businesses can
quickly send information such as their catalog to get the conversation going.
To start using QR codes, businesses can follow these quick steps.
Globally, more
than 50 million WhatsApp Business app users use the facility every month.
