WhatsApp used iOS emojis on Android until 2017, when it created its own emojis, available in both versions of WhatsApp. The last WhatsApp beta for Android adds 24 emojis, based on the latest additions in iOS 14.5.
Among the new emojis that you can send with WhatsApp Beta are the heart on fire, woman with beard, face in the clouds and various combinations of pairs. They are emojis that were added in Emoji 13.1 and that have been on Google Pixels since the end of last year.
More emojis for WhatsApp
There are never enough emojis, so every so often Unicode increases the list of emoticons, which are later incorporated into new versions of the operating system and applications that use their own, such as WhatsApp. With the beta 2.21.16.10 of WhatsApp for Android, available in the Google Play beta program, they arrive 24 new emojis to WhatsApp.
Among the additions are the heart on fire, the bandaged heart, the face in the clouds, the face exhaling, face with spiral eyes and bearded man and woman. There are also new combinations of pairs, although not including all the combinations of skin tones that are present in iOS 14.5.
As a cross-platform application, WhatsApp shows exactly the same emojis in both its Android and iOS versions, and from time to time you need to homogenize them so that neither version is left behind. In this beta of WhatsApp for Android come several of the new emojis that were incorporated in iOS 14.5, all of them members of Emoji 13.1.
You can send these emojis right away, if you have the beta version of WhatsApp, although the recipient of the message you will not be able to see them if you do not also have this latest version installed by WhatsApp. It is hoped that these emojis will end up reaching the official version of WhatsApp and WhatsApp Web and for PC in the coming weeks.
