WhatsApp has started working on 21 new emojis

San Francisco: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has started working on 21 new emojis for a future app update.

The messaging platform has also redesigned the eight emoji that showed up in beta, as reported by WABetaInfo.

In the latest beta build available on the Play Store, eight emojis have been updated and 21 new emojis will be made available to all beta testers soon.

Meanwhile, on Friday, WhatsApp started rolling out a new disappearing message shortcut on the Android beta.

After downloading the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.25.11 update, some users were able to access the shortcuts feature.

Last month, the messaging platform rolled out a yellow page business directory in five countries.

The feature has been rolled out across Brazil, UK, Indonesia, Mexico, and Colombia.

According to the company, the directory will help users search directly to find companies they can contact on the service or browse by business types such as travel or banking.
