You can now search for GIPHY stickers on WhatsApp
WhatsApp has launched a new stable update for its iOS users, with the build number 24.17.78 now available on the App Store. The highlight of this update is the introduction of a GIPHY sticker search feature, designed to enhance user experience during chats. This allows users to quickly find an appropriate sticker that best expresses their emotions, even if it's not in their personal collection.
Sticker rearrangement feature introduced
The new update also introduces a feature that allows users to rearrange stickers within the sticker tray. This is made possible by a new "move sticker to the top" option, which aims to make it easier and faster for users to access their favorite stickers during conversations. This feature adds another layer of convenience for users, enhancing their overall messaging experience on the platform.
Direct replies and reactions from media viewer now possible
In addition to sticker improvements, the latest WhatsApp update for iOS also enables users to reply and react directly from the media viewer screen. This facility was previously announced for beta testers with the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.12.10.72 update. Now, when viewing a photo, video, or GIF, users can tap on new shortcuts present at the bottom of their screens to interact without leaving the media viewer.
