Popular messaging platform WhatsApp is preparing to introduce a new update that includes a sticker suggestion feature. Update 2.23.14.16 is currently available to beta testers through the Google Play Beta Program.

Stickers were first introduced to WhatsApp in 2018 as a fun and engaging way to communicate with friends and family. Users also got the option to import sticker packs created by third-party apps. The requirement for these stickers was to associate them with certain emojis.

WhatsApp is now taking advantage of this requirement by offering a sticker search feature for beta testers to choose from. In the latest beta update, users will see a new sticker bar above the keyboard. This panel displays stickers related to emojis entered into the chat panel, making it easier than ever to find and send the right sticker for any occasion.

To check if this feature is available to you, we recommend downloading the Cuppy sticker pack from the built-in sticker store and entering the emojis in the chat bar. If you have enabled the sticker suggestion feature for your WhatsApp account, you can use the new sticker panel and quickly send the sticker you want.

This feature provides significant benefits, especially as the number of stickers installed continues to grow. Finding specific stickers from a large collection can be difficult, but the sticker suggestions feature simplifies the process, saving users valuable time. Additionally, this feature is compatible with third-party stickers, but sticker packs may need to be modified for support to be enabled.

While the sticker suggestion feature is currently available to some beta users who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, it will gradually be rolled out to more users in the coming days. It is also possible that this feature will be extended to beta testers using the iOS version of WhatsApp in the future. Apart from this new feature, WhatsApp is also working on chat list filtering, round notifications for a modern look, and high-quality video sharing.
