    The categories are the gray icons at the bottom of the keyboard—the next-to-last category is 4 symbols, including a music note, ampersand (&), percent (%).
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/13\/Send-an-Animated-Heart-on-WhatsApp-on-iPhone-or-iPad-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Send-an-Animated-Heart-on-WhatsApp-on-iPhone-or-iPad-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/13\/Send-an-Animated-Heart-on-WhatsApp-on-iPhone-or-iPad-Step-7.jpg\/v4-728px-Send-an-Animated-Heart-on-WhatsApp-on-iPhone-or-iPad-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Be sure not to choose a different color or variety of heart—only the regular red heart will appear animated when sent in WhatsApp.
