WhatsApp added animated heart emojis for its Android users. In the year 2022, if you can’t reply with an animated emoji, you feel like you’re missing half of your vocabulary. Even without the jokes, this kind of picture-based communication has become an important part of our daily lives.

So, it’s good news that there will soon be a set of animated heart emojis for WhatsApp for Android, right? The feature has been found by WABetaInfo, and the site says that beta testers have already been getting it.

The situation with WhatsApp has been complicated. The feature showed up for iOS users in January, but it was taken down soon after. Now that it’s clear that the same emoji will be coming to WhatsApp for Android, it’s possible that the same feature will also come back to WhatsApp for iOS.

There is a screenshot of the heart emoji in question, which is shown in different colours. For the recipient to be able to use it, they must also have this feature turned on. We don’t know when the animated heart emoji will be added to the stable version of WhatsApp, but based on our past experiences with similar beta leaks, it shouldn’t take too long.
