And now we are seeing even more Instagram-like tools coming to WhatsApp, at least in the beta avatar for now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We have seen stickers in chats and stories (or updates) but now these stickers are taking a new form in WhatsApp where you can ask questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>More Instagram-Y Features For WhatsApp<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The details about the feature on WhatsApp have come via WaBetaInfo this week, who says the Question Stickers is an easy way to add a question with an image or video when you share the status update. It is currently available to the beta testers but should be getting an official release soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The feature will work both ways, so people can actually respond to the questions via the same sticker through comments for that update. The responses can be viewed in a separate tab and you can manually decide which reply you want to be shared or deleted. The user is not alerted about such actions so keeping everything anonymous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But WhatsApp is making sure that its privacy standards are not compromised with the beta feature and it assures that all the responses via the stickers are protected by end-to-end encryption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>Liquid Glass For WhatsApp<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">WhatsApp is the latest platform testing its own variations with the recent WhatsApp iOS beta version with select users, which should be rolling out for everyone once the bugs are fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple has offered the iOS 26 SDK which makes it easy for apps like WhatsApp and Instagram to adopt the new design interface and seamlessly fit into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/whatsapp-for-ios-26-version-iphone-users-will-soon-get-the-liquid-glass-update-ws-l-9623955.html\">new iOS 26 version for iPhone<\/a> users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The details about the new iOS 26 update for WhatsApp comes via reliable platform WaBetaInfo this week, where the tipster also shares the first look of the new WhatsApp version that iPhone 17 and other users will be getting soon. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2315145136 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2315145136 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 15, 2025, 14:38 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2315145136 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> WhatsApp Is Testing This Instagram-Like Feature For Users: Know More<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
