Android smartphone users can now create different skin tone combinations for couple emojis on WhatsApp.
As of now, the feature is only available to users who are enrolled in WhatsApp Desktop beta program but it is expected that it will be rolled out to other users soon.Įarlier this week, WhatsApp started rolling out skin tone combinations for Android devices with a beta update. Users can also tap on the sticker to see the pack it belongs to. Web users cannot download a sticker pack but they can pick a single sticker from the pack to send to the chat. Although the Sticker Store has the same sticker packs that are seen on Android and iOS devices, it works differently on the web. With the latest beta update, users can now open the Sticker Store on WhatsApp web by tapping in the plus icon in the sticker tray. With the new sticker store, users can now search for a sticker to send to another user of a Group. Previously, the users could only send the stickers that were already available in the panel or they had sent or received through the smartphone app.
As per a report by WABetaInfo, the platform is now releasing a new feature with the beta update that allows WhatsApp web users to explore the Sticker Store. The defense argued that Rittenhouse had been repeatedly attacked and had shot the men in fear for his life.Last month, WhatsApp rolled out a feature for the web users that allows them to create stickers from photos. The prosecution had portrayed Rittenhouse as a reckless vigilante who provoked the violent encounters and showed no remorse for the men he shot with his AR-15-style rifle. Last year, Facebook designated the killings a mass shooting and pledged to remove content praising Rittenhouse, saying such content violated their policies and would be taken off their platform. Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and fired a bullet that tore a chunk off the arm of Gaige Grosskreutz, 28.
Jurors found Rittenhouse, 18, not guilty on all charges: two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide for wounding a third man, and two counts of recklessly endangering safety in protests marred by arson, rioting and looting on Aug. Last month, a jury acquitted Rittenhouse of murder in the fatal shooting of the two men in a decision that reignited fierce debate about gun rights and the boundaries of self defense in the United States. "While we will still remove content that celebrates the death of the individuals killed in Kenosha, we will no longer remove content containing praise or support of Rittenhouse," the spokesperson said. "After the verdict in Kenosha we rolled back the restrictions we had in place that limited search results from returning content related to key terms including Kyle Rittenhouse," a spokesperson for Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc (FB.O) said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.
