WhatsApp, an instant messaging application, has been in the news for rolling out new features for users across platforms. Soon after introducing WhatsApp Channels for users, the company regularly brings new enhancements to upscale user experience. In the latest move, the Meta-owned app is testing a feature to let admins share stickers in a channel, according to WABetaInfo.

As per the WhatsApp tracker, the option is rolling out in the beta version "2.23.24.19" on Android. It is available for some testers and will be released to more users in the future. Previously, the news outlet spotted the development of the enhancement in a previous beta build on the Android app. But it was not ready for a release back then.
