The Muslims exchange messages in large numbers to greet each other at the start of the holy month.
Last month, WhatsApp had introduced a pack of new animate stickers, Fantastic Corgi, to make chats more interesting for users.
"The Fantastic Corgi is the new animated sticker pack released two minutes ago for iOS and Android (all @WhatsApp versions). It might take a while to appear," read the tweet by WABetaInfo.
Previously, the company had also launched its 'Sticker Maker' app for users in three countries so they can start creating their own custom-animated stickers.
Earlier, WhatsApp also launched the ‘Vaccines for All’ stickers pack, which encouraged users to get vaccinated
Amid the rising trend of novel coronavirus, WhatsApp has come up with a new pack of stickers titled ‘Vaccines for All’ to encourage its users to get Covid-19 jabs, appreciating the efforts put out by the health workers during a global outbreak.
As per sources, the sticker pack released by WhatsApp has been developed in close collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The messaging app is also in touch with more than 150 federal, provincial and local governments in the world to provide accurately, verified Covid related information to its users.
Through its Twitter handle, the messaging app announced its partnership with the WHO to launch the sticker pack.
This #WorldHealthDay, we are proud to partner with @WHO on a new sticker pack called "Vaccines for All!" to help us express the joy, relief and hope COVID vaccines offer, and to show appreciation for the healthcare heroes.https://t.co/SQTkvWKaPI pic.twitter.com/iuPjbAFdbp

It further added, “As the pandemic enters a new phase in many countries, governments are using these helplines to connect citizens privately to accurate vaccine information and registration, in countries such as Indonesia, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, and India”.
As per the report, in Indonesia, 500,000 medical workers registered for their vaccine appointments on this service in its first five days.
