The fact that WhatsApp is the most popular chatting app in the world speaks volumes about the features and user experience that this app has to offer. WhatsApp is the “golden standard” when it comes to chatting apps and there’s no doubt about that.
Nonetheless, the thing that separates WhatsApp from similar apps such as Telegram is that WhatsApp is constantly improving. The developer team behind WhatsApp never takes a break and new APK updates are being released every other week.
WhatsApp Messenger 2.18.382 Beta APK
As we previously mentioned, WhatsApp’s developers are always releasing APK updates and a new one has just arrived. The latest APK update for WhatsApp features the 2.18.382 Beta APK build number and as its name implies, it’s exclusive to Beta testers.
On the bright side of things, enrolling in WhatsApp’s beta program is not complicated at all. The only thing that beta testers need to do in exchange for receiving access to the app’s latest update ahead of everyone else is to provide the developers with serious feedback. With that said, let’s check out what features the new APK update introduces.
What’s New?
- Stickers
“Introducing stickers! You can now download and send expressive stickers in chats. Tap the “emoji” icon while in a chat and then tap the “sticker” icon at the bottom to get started. You can also tap the “+” icon to download more sticker packs,” said WhatsApp in the patch notes for this latest update.
We should also mention that WhatsApp users who want to create their own personal stickers can do this by heading over to WhatsApp’s official website where they are going to be presented with the tools they need in order to create personalized stickers.
- Reply to Messages Faster
The last feature that this update introduces makes it easier and faster for users to reply to messages because they can do it just by swiping right on a message notification.
