We already have a series of new emojis in WhatsApp for Android , available to everyone in the latest version uploaded to the official Play Store. Some will be very popular, like the pregnant man, the melting face, the multiracial handshakes, or the hands forming a heart.
In WhatsApp for Android version 2.22.8.79 the new emojis already appear, if they don’t come out we have to update WhatsApp to have them. Those who receive the emojis will also need this latest version, luckily it is already being rolled out generally.
They are basically the same emojis included in iOS 15.4, as we remember that the new designs are approved by Unicode, an independent association that allows them to be compatible between the various manufacturers. Of course, the WhatsApp illustrations are different , in a subtle way in some cases, and more noticeable in others.
On the one hand, 7 new emojis of faces with emotions are included in the list:
- Smiley face that melts.
- Face with mouth covered by a hand.
- Eyes covered with hands.
- Military salute (open hand on the forehead).
- Transparent face.
- Eyes teary with emotion.
- Sad/disappointed face with diagonal mouth.
In addition, 5 emojis of people appear, although some are a bit out of the category:
- Person with crown (neutral gender).
- Pregnant person (neutral gender).
- Pregnant man.
- Fleshy lips biting.
- Troll (mythological creature).
In WhatsApp 2.22.8.79, 7 quite interesting hand gesture emojis are released:
- Hands forming a heart.
- Open hand to the right.
- Open hand to the left.
- Palm down (offer hand).
- Palm up (asking gesture).
- Index finger pointing forward.
- Index and thumb together (means money or high price).
There are also many variants for interracial handshakes , in which we can assign a different skin tone to each hand:
Finally, 18 emojis of very varied objects arrive, for various purposes:
- Coral.
- Water lily (floating plant).
- Empty bird’s nest.
- Bird’s nest with eggs.
- Chest x-ray.
- Beans.
- Soap bubbles.
- metal crutch
- empty jar
- Lifesaver float.
- Tire.
- glass pouring water
- Children’s slide.
- Mirror ball for parties.
- Almost empty battery.
- Identification document.
- Hamsa (hand with one eye, magical symbol of luck).
- Equal symbol.
On the other hand, the cheese fondue emoji is redesigned to eliminate aromatic herbs , a touch-up that reminds us of when WhatsApp removed the prawns from the Valencian paella emoji.
Therefore, we only have to download WhatsApp 2.22.8.79 for Android and enjoy the new emojis , although in most mobiles the Play Store is already in charge of updating the applications itself from time to time.
