Here is all you need to know about WhatsApp releasing a large animated orange heart emoji. (Bloomberg)

How often do you use an emoji on WhatsApp? Emoji's are used to express your feelings and emotions without even the need of using any text or words. According to the latest information provided by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is now rolling out a large animated orange heart emoji for some beta users. "WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.20.6: what's new? WhatsApp is releasing a large animated orange heart emoji!," WABetaInfo tweeted.

WAbetaInfo had earlier informed that the heart emoji will now be animated in the same way as the default red heart emoji. It can be known that when you send a red heart emoji to someone, you can see that the heart beats. However, other than red, no other coloured heart emoji used the animation. But when WhatsApp rolled out the feature- more large animated heart emojis, except for the orange heart, other hearts got the animated feature. But now, with the latest WhatsApp beta for Android update, the orange heart too gets the animation.

Sharing a video, WABetaInfo said, "As you can see in this video capture, the orange heart emoji is now fully compatible with the animation: just send the orange heart emoji to a conversation and you can see it will show up with an animation!."

It can be noted that the new animation for these emojis has been released after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.18.8 update, but it may not have reached all beta testers. It means it may still not be available for everyone. In this case, if any heart emoji is not animated, it means the feature is not available for your WhatsApp account and you should wait for a future update to get it.
