A new beta version of WhatsApp for Android has now been released, and this time it brings a set of new Emojis, reports Android Police. The new emojis come with WhatsApp beta version 2.21.16.10, and they include several new and cool modifications of already existing Emojis.
Android beta users on WhatsApp will now have some new fun Emojis
The Unicode Consortium published an Emoji 13.1 update with new emojis that have already made their way to iOS users and Google's Gboard. However, WhatsApp designs its own library of emojis, and some are based on the list published by the Consortium, others, designed by WhatsApp's parent company Facebook.
The new emojis are quite similar or a direct sequence of previously-existing emoji. For example, a new emoji showing a Woman with Beard has been designed based on the emoji showing a person with beard and the female emoji.
Additionally, if you search for "fog", a face in clouds emoji will appear.
However, keep in mind that the set of new emojis is only present on the beta version of WhatsApp. This means more work can be done to these emojis. For example, different skin tones can be implemented for the "Kiss" and the "Couple" emojis, whose gender can be customized, but they come only in the default emoji skin color.
For reference, check out some of the new iOS emojis that come with the Emoji 13.1 Unicode Consortium:
