It's unclear why WhatsApp has ditched the 'typing' message at the top of the app but the three dots bouncing isn't a new concept. Apple's iMessage has been using those symbols for a number of years when sending chats to other iPhone users.

WhatsApp has replaced the classic 'typing...' indicator with an animated speech bubble, and users aren't happy. The controversial update, which has sparked frustration and anxiety among some, is set to roll out globally soon.

WhatsApp has shaken things up with a major change to its chat feature, but not everyone is happy. Previously the popular app showed a ‘Typing’ sign at the top of chats to show the other person was getting ready to fire over a reply.

WhatsApp's animation update causes users to have anxiety with the new update similar to Facebook's iMessaging feature.
