The beta version of WhatsApp for Android updates with 138 new emoji: here are what they are and how to download them
After many rumors about possible new features, the beta version of WhatsApp finally updates with something new and substantial. In version 2.20.197.6 of WhatsApp beta for Android there are 138 new emoji that users can use to personalize chats. This is an update that happens almost every year by the developers following the release of all new emoticons by Unicode.
The guys at WaBetaInfo have posted images of all 138 new emoticons on their blog and there are many nice and cute ones. To get to such a considerable number you have to take into account that in some cases they are just revisions of emoji already present on the app. This is definitely not a great novelty, as could be the release of the tool that allows you to use the same profile on multiple devices, but it is definitely something extra that enriches conversations with your friends.

You’re spoiled for choice among the new 138 emoji released for WhatsApp. They range from a painter to a doctor to an astronaut.
