WhatsApp is working on an exciting new sticker feature for a future update which is available for users of the beta version of the app via the Google Play Beta Program.
According to WABetaInfo, the upcoming update will feature a new interactive sticker feature that will introduce prompts through status updates.
The Meta-owned instant messaging app is exploring the implementation of a new “Add Yours” sticker for status updates that will allow users to create interactive challenges or prompts, encouraging their contacts to share their own content in response.
Similar to the “Add Yours” sticker available on Instagram, this feature will let users set a theme, question, or activity that others can participate in by sharing their own status updates.
For example, users could create a prompt asking their contacts to share a picture of their pet through a status update, and their contacts will be able to tap the sticker and contribute their own related updates.
However, one of the differences compared to the Instagram sticker is the focus on privacy.
If a user sees a status update with the “Add Yours” sticker and participates by sharing their own content, the audience of the user who shared the update won’t see who initiated the chain or what was shared by others who contributed.
