WhatsApp Tests Emoji-Based Sticker Suggestions in iOS Beta to Streamline Chats

WhatsApp is testing a new feature in its iOS beta that suggests stickers based on emojis typed in chats, allowing users to send relevant stickers without opening the sticker tray. This feature, already seen on Android, displays sticker options in real time near the message bar, streamlining conversations. It relies on emoji associations assigned to stickers, including those created via third-party apps. Currently, the feature is available to limited beta users, with no confirmed public release date.
