    WhatsApp for iPhone (and Android) is all set to roll out animated stickers, and if you’re not excited about them, I’m going to paint you a little picture to explain to you why you should get hyped about it!

    Imagine that you’re sitting in a café, talking to your best friend on your trusty WhatsApp when she sends you a message that makes your blood boil. She’s back with that good for nothing boy again, and you don’t even know how to convey your disgust with words. And you’re pretty sure that no emoji can get your expression of disappointment and nausea across! But wait, there is one thing that can help you – an animated sticker! You’re excited now, aren’t you? So, without further ado, let’s get into the how’s and when’s of the launch of animated stickers on WhatsApp for iPhone.

    What Exactly Are Animated Stickers?

    They are little motion enabled stickers depicting things like emotional reactions, rockets launching, and everything else under the sun. And for those of you wondering how that’s any different from GIFs, the answer is all in the longevity. GIFs do two to three rounds before flickering and essentially going haywire. But, animated stickers play on a loop and will only stop “when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry, and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. “(C’mon, I can’t be the only one feeling that Game of Thrones fever!)

    How Can You Get Them?

    According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is currently in the testing stage of animated stickers for iOS, Android, and perhaps even WhatsApp Web. They’re not available for end users yet, but the feature will hopefully be developed soon enough for WhatsApp lovers across platforms to enjoy.

    So, if you’re wondering where you can get your hands on these wonder stickers, you’ll, unfortunately, have to wait. As of now, these stickers are still in the developmental phase. But, according to sources, they’re already working well and should become available soon for commercial use. Once they do, they’ll be available in sticker packs that you can use through WhatsApp for iPhone. You’ll also allegedly be able to use third-party stickers within this feature.

    That’s all the tea for today, Apple lovers. We’ll see you next when the feature becomes available to take your WhatsApp for iPhone experience to the next level!
