whatsapp for ios testing

The latest WhatsApp beta for iOS version 23.10.0.74 is available on the TestFlight app, providing a glimpse of upcoming enhancements. In a recent beta update, WhatsApp for iOS version 23.3.77 introduced a new Sticker Maker tool that lets users easily create stickers from their images. The feature uses the iOS 16 API to extract a subject from an image, automatically converting it into a sticker within the app.

The inclusion of this sticker maker tool received positive feedback from users, who appreciated the convenience of creating stickers directly within WhatsApp. Building on this success, WhatsApp is now working on a better implementation of the feature.

Feature will provide users with more options

The introduction of an in-app sticker maker tool is a welcome addition for WhatsApp users, as it eliminates the need to rely on third-party applications. By integrating this tool directly into the app, WhatsApp ensures a smooth and streamlined experience for users who want to create and personalize stickers. It’s worth noting that a similar tool is already available on WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop, but the upcoming iOS version will offer users enhanced capabilities and a more versatile set of editing tools.

While this feature is still under development, users can look forward to its release in future updates of the app. The in-app sticker maker tool is expected to let users express their creativity and personalize their chats with unique stickers, all within the familiar WhatsApp environment.

With WhatsApp’s commitment to improving the user experience and constantly adding new features, this upcoming enhancement is yet another example of how the messaging platform strives to meet the evolving needs and preferences of its users.
