WhatsApp For Android Lets You Write, Draw & Add Emojis to Photos & Videos
WhatsApp on Monday introduced new customization options for images and video those are shared on the instant messaging app. WhatsApp has introduced stickers used by Twitter and Snapchat. The sticker set is called Twemoji, made by Twitter Open Source and is available for use by anyone under an MIT and Creative Commons license. WhatsApp says that the new camera features has started rolling out to Android devices while these will be available to iPhone users soon.
You can now write or draw on photos and videos, as well as add emojis to express yourself. It will also let you select a brush size or font style by dragging left on the color selector. Multiple stickers can be layered onto an image, along with the drawings. The stickers can be dragged around, rotated and the pinching gesture can be used to resize. There is a colour gradient available that can colour the stickers and text, and these have more colours on offer than Snapchat. Additionally, WhatsApp allows users the option to use speech and thought bubbles as well.
The new editing tools will be seen when you capture a new photo or video or share one that is already on your phone. WhatsApp is now supporting bigger emojis that will surely help you express better and have fun conversations. You can even send combinations of small, medium and large emojis in single chat.
It is now possible to forward the same message to multiple chats at once. The forwarding or sharing menu has been tweaked, so that the most frequently contacted people on groups show up on top of the listing. While recording videos, it is now possible to slide up and down to zoom in and out. Double tapping while recording a video now rapidly switches between front camera and back camera.
Finally, there is an inclusion of a new front-facing flash for better selfies in the low light and dark conditions. It must be noted that these camera features only work if you are taking a photo using the WhatsApp in-app camera and not the once present on your device.
Cheers!!!
