WhatsApp and Telegram are two messaging applications that naturally share present and future functions (but have an interesting dispute for being the one that offers more options for users). However, in recent months, there seems to be a trend in the development of Meta’s proprietary work to catch up with some of the features its rival already has, such as channels. Well, it seems that the same thing will happen shortly with another of the differences in favor of the last one that we have mentioned. According to the data that has been known, the new addition among the options that WhatsApp offers are animated emojis. According to the source of the information, they are already on their way with the aim of competing with Telegram, which right now offers them in a very broad way. It must be remembered that WhatsApp was a pioneer at the time when introducing the giant animated heart emoji, but the news in this regard is over. And, with the passage of time, this development took a backseat to the competition. And to correct this, work is being done to offer this possibility to users so that the attractiveness of what they share is greater. Some options that are striking There are those who prefer Telegram and those who prefer WhatsApp, but even the most loyal fans of the latter recognize that Telegram’s animated emojis have a much higher quality. Over time, the first development has even improved the stickers to also convert them into animated elements. The fact is that they are widely used options and that they offer great appeal and even take up less space than GIF animations, they remain one of the most shared content in messaging apps. Animated emojis detected in WhatsApp In WaBetaInfo they report that WhatsApp is essentially preparing the same for the application and in reference to animated emojis. They will appear larger than the traditional ones when they are sent in a message that does not contain anything else, as it happens in Telegram. An advance that, without being new, will be something that will be used a lot in the messaging application over time. Not only is it the same concept, but it will also be based on similar technology. The source of the information indicates that these animations will also be vector, very small in size and can be resized without losing quality. Of course, the animated emoji that has been discovered in the test version of the application is too soft… although this could change before the function is officially announced. At the moment, these animated emojis have been discovered in WhatsApp Desktop Beta, although the feature should reach all platforms. When? We’ll see. >
