WhatsApp Beta 2.25.11.10 introduces a new feature to control your animated chat, letting users customize how emojis, stickers, and GIFs behave for a personalized chat experience.
WhatsApp is always looking to innovate and streamline the user experience, and its newest beta for Android, 2.25.11.10, is proof of it. The release brings new features that let users have more control over chat animations, bringing it closer to personalized and distraction-free messaging.
What’s New?
The highlight of this beta release is the capacity to manage the behavior of chat animations. Here’s a closer look at what users can expect:
1. Emoji Animations: Emojis are a fundamental aspect of online conversations. As much as animated emojis can bring some zest to chats, others like it plain. The new feature enables you to turn off automatic animations, such that emojis remain static for a cleaner look.
2. Sticker and GIF Control: Stickers and GIFs tend to steal the show in chats with their movement and panache. Yet, when animation gets out of hand, it can dilute the intensity of the conversation. This feature provides users with the option to disable autoplay on GIFs so that they look static unless explicitly brought to life.
These adjustments benefit users who appreciate a serene and concentrated messaging environment, where animations add value to communication without serving as a distraction.

Purpose of the Feature
The new feature is intended to give users greater control of their chat experience and diminish possible distractions created by automatic animation. By giving each individual the choice to customize, users can customize how dynamic content is presented based on their needs for cleaner and less hectic chats.
How to Access the Feature
The new animation settings are located in the WhatsApp settings, probably under the “Chat” settings. Users will notice a new section for controlling animations for emojis, stickers, and GIFs.
Availability of this Feature
The feature is now being tested on a limited set of beta testers who belong to the Google Play Beta Program for WhatsApp. It will likely roll out to a broader base in the stable WhatsApp version over the coming weeks.
Conclusion
WhatsApp keeps growing and adapting, oscillating between being fun and practical to suit its enormous user demographic. This beta release is one tiny but influential step in seeing to it that the messaging interface stays relevant and responsive in our current rapid-speed digital environment.
