WhatsApp is working on a new feature to make the chatting experience of its users easier and more fun. According to the report, a feature is being tested in the beta version of WhatsApp iOS, in which sticker suggestions will automatically appear while typing the message.
This means that now there will be no need to open and search for the sticker tray again and again. This new feature is currently seen in WhatsApp iOS Beta version 26.1.10.72, which has been available to some selected users through Apple’s TestFlight program.
As soon as the user types a message in the chat and writes an emoji with associated stickers, a small sticker icon will appear near the send button.

No Need To Search Whatsapp Sticker Now
If the user taps on this sticker icon, a small panel will open on the same chat screen. In this, stickers and GIFs related to the same emoji will be visible.
The special thing is that for this there will be no need to go out of the chat or open the entire sticker section. If desired, more options can also be seen by tapping on ‘Show more results’.
This feature works on emoji meta data. Meaning, only those stickers which have been associated with a particular emoji at the time of creation will be visible in the sticker suggestions.
Many third-party sticker apps already let you combine multiple emojis with a single sticker. This increases the chance of seeing the right sticker at the right time, especially for users who have multiple sticker packs.
However, currently stickers created with WhatsApp’s in-built sticker creator do not support this feature. That means such stickers will not appear in automatic suggestions. It is believed that WhatsApp may also update its sticker creator in the coming time.
When will everyone get the new feature?
As far as this feature is concerned for all the users, no fixed date has been revealed yet. Usually WhatsApp tests beta features for a few weeks or months.
If everything goes well, then soon this new sticker suggestion feature can be rolled out for all users. With this, chatting on WhatsApp will become faster, easier and more fun than before.
