More huge animated heart emoticons are a new feature that select beta testers have access to, as we reported in the post about WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.18.8. Any heart emoji will now be animated in the same way as the standard red heart emoji thanks to this feature.
After some time, a user tweeted that the orange heart emoji was incompatible with this feature.

After installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.18.8 update, the new animation for these emojis has indeed been released, however it may not have reached all beta testers, which means it may still not be accessible to everyone. If any of the heart emojis in this situation are not animated, it signifies that WhatsApp does not yet support that functionality, and you will need to wait for a future upgrade to enable it.
