More scrolling may have to be done for emoji

A screenshot is given in the report. According to this, now in the new keyboard, the option to select the keyboard type will be given in the message bar above instead of below. It looks like this bar will remove access to different categories of emoji.

Note that this update goes into further detail about compatibility with older operating systems as it appears to no longer be compatible with Android versions lower than 5.0.

WhatsApp is ending support for older versions of Android. This is to ensure that the app takes advantage of the latest security features and provides the best user experience.
