What it does is allow users to turn the animation on/off just for emojis, or stickers, or GIFs, or for all three concurrently. By default these elements will animate in chats if this option is turned on. But if toggled off, it will disable them to move on their own, leaving users having to click on an animation to activate it. This gives a perfect remedy to those individuals who discover consistent animations annoying in their structure or who want to have improved authority over their chat components.

At the moment, the WhatsApp chat message animations feature is only available to a selected few users as part of the Google Play Beta Program. The stability version will be released shortly and the next step is a more dynamic approach to your interactions with the app.

With this update, the focus is on how WhatsApp continues to innovate on its app and improve the social interaction of its users from around the world.
