It’s 2022 and if you don’t have the option to reply with an animated emoji, you feel like half of your vocabulary is missing. Jokes aside, this modern picto-inspired communication has become an integral part of our daily lives.
So it’s good news that WhatsApp for Android is getting an animated heart emoji collection soon, right? The feature was spotted by WABetaInfo and according to the site, it has already rolled out to beta testers.
The WhatsApp animated situation at heart was complicated – the feature appeared for iOS users in January, but it was removed shortly after. Now that it’s clear that a version of the same emoji is coming to WhatsApp for Android, the same feature may be coming back to iOS as well.

There is a screenshot showing the heart emoji in question (in different colors), and in order to use it, the recipient must also have this feature enabled. There’s no information on the concrete timeline for rolling out the animated heart emoji to the stable WhatsApp version, but given our past experience with similar beta leaks, it shouldn’t be too long.
