WhatsApp Beta Adds Voice Waveforms and Shareable Sticker Packs on Android

WhatsApp is adding subtle tweaks to improve the user experience on Android for beta testers. The new changes include waveform preview for voice notes and the power to forward sticker packs.

WhatsApp Adds Vocalisation Waveforms and Shareable Sticker Packs

According to reliable WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started rolling out waveform previews for vox notes. This was added in the latest WhatsApp beta version 2.21.xiii.17. Going frontward, yous volition see the waveform instead of the current UI, which shows a direct line. Take a look at voice waveforms in WhatsApp below:

Another change WhatsApp has fabricated in a recent beta build is the option to frontwards the official sticker packs. You can now hands forward your favorite sticker packs to your friends and family. However, there's a catch. As WABetaInfo points out, you tin can't forrad tertiary-political party sticker packs at the moment. Y'all tin can create your ain WhatsApp sticker packs right hither. We could expect WhatsApp to expand this capability to third-political party sticker packs in future updates.

How to Forwards Sticker Packs on WhatsApp

To forward official sticker packs, all you have to do is access the stickers manager page. You can practise this by pressing the "+" icon in the stickers interface and navigating to the "My Stickers" section. Once you are here, tap on the sticker pack you lot would like to share.

When you aggrandize the sticker pack, you volition see a new forward button. Tap on it and option the contact. The recipient will then get a link to add together the sticker pack, every bit y'all can run across in the prototype below:

When I checked on WhatsApp beta version 2.21.13.17, I had the option to forward sticker packs but the new voice waveforms were missing. We could wait a wider rollout in the next beta release. If you would like to try your luck, y'all can update the messaging app from Play Store if you have already enrolled in the beta plan.
