In recent times, the Meta platform, which houses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and others, has been working on improvements in the Windows version of WhatsApp.
These innovations seek to achieve a more satisfactory level of compatibility between WhatsApp and Windows and thus optimize the application's performance. In addition, these new features are also responsible for bringing updates that were already available on mobile devices to the Windows version as well.

This is the case with emojis that were already in Android beta testers, although they still had some flaws. See now what changes with the new version 2.2148.3.7 that is already available in the Microsoft Store.
The main novelty in the WhatsApp UWP (Universal Windows Platform) emoji catalog is the combination of skin tones for couples. This change is already being tested and, as mentioned, had already been presented to the beta testers version. It consists of the possibility of forming combinations for couples who use the app, customizing the icons according to their own shades.
Thus, instead of customizing all emojis only according to a skin tone, more representative options would be generated.
Therefore, this change comes to the UWP version of WhatsApp shortly after it was withdrawn from the beta version, due to the aforementioned flaws. This personalization option, already available for Windows, also indicates that the application has not given up on the proposal and is also trying to fix the problem on mobile devices.
Updates are still restricted to those participating in the official Microsoft store beta program. That is, to test these new versions, it is necessary to join the program that is available for people using Windows 10 or 11.
With this, you will not only be able to use the latest versions available, but you will also be able to help WhatsApp through your feedback. That is, you are testing WhatsApp updates and helping to build the app.
By accessing WhatsApp through the UWP beta version, you'll see new features that will only be available to most users who use the app on mobile devices.
