WhatsApp Messenger 2.19.109 Beta Released Today, New Features Coming Soon

The latest WhatsApp beta version has just been released today, reaching v. 2.19.109. WhatsApp is working on introducing an improvement to the animated stickers.

As we noticed on WABetaInfo, this feature is still being worked on:

  • The Animated Stickers feature is not available yet.
  • WhatsApp is working on the feature in recent Android, iOS and Web updates, adding a lot of improvements and bug fixes. For this reason it’s ok if you have updated your WhatsApp version and you don’t see the feature. It will be available in future for everyone.

We will see the animated stickers in the stickers pack. Users will be able to see the full animation of the sticker in the preview (unlike GIFs which we only see for a few seconds).

WhatsApp for iOS is also getting support for Animated Stickers. Users of WhatsApp for Web will get to see Animated Stickers, too.

As for when the feature will be enabled in the stable WhatsApp version, there is no official announcement. In the Beta version, it works well, and it will support third-party stickers as well.

If you’re in the beta program, you can download WhatsApp 2.19.109 beta  (- APK Mirror link to WhatsApp APK file) and enjoy other bug fixes and improvements, as well as testing the stickers.

Screenshots in Chat Getting Changed

Among the many other new features planned for the stable WhatsApp version of this app, the team at WABetaInfo also spotted a new strange change that would be introduced in the future. In WhatsApp beta for Android 2.19.106 update, they saw a new feature that will make it more difficult for users to take screenshots of the chat.

So the option will not make it impossible to take screenshots of the chat, but all users enabling authentication with fingerprint will not be able to take screenshots anymore.

WhatsApp 2.19.106 Beta Available to Download with New Group Communication Features

There are lots of chatting apps that smartphone users can pick from, but WhatsApp is always the best option. WhatsApp has one bragging right that proves its better than all other chatting apps and the bragging right is that WhatsApp is used by more than one billion people from all over the world every single month.

Considering that so many people are using WhatsApp in order to keep in touch with their friends and family members, it should come as no surprise that the developers who are in charge of the chatting app can’t afford any mistakes. This is why they are releasing new updates every day.

WhatsApp 2.19.106 Beta

The best way to get access to all the latest features and updates that WhatsApp’s developers introduce is to enroll in the beta program. In fact, a brand-new beta update has just arrived and it sports the 2.19.106 version number. This is a high-priority update for all WhatsApp users because it comes with a bunch of features that improve the app’s communication features.

New Communication Features

The latest beta update for WhatsApp brings a couple of really cool features. The first one is making it possible for users to get in group voice and audio calls with the simple tap of a button. In addition, the number of participants that get in group voice and audio calls has been raised up to four.

The second feature that WhatsApp users are going to notice after installing the new update is a special “New group call” button. Obviously, the new button goes “hand in hand” with the new group voice and audio communication feature that we mentioned previously. This button is available in the “calls tab” and everyone can access it with a single tap of the screen.
