That's because the way emoji looks is similar to a font. There's a standard Unicode set of emoji written out, and every handset maker draws their own emoji that corresponds to the character.
To use Apple's set, WhatsApp may have had to pay a licensing fee. The changes could have simply been down to doing away with that -- as its parent, Facebook, did a couple of years ago.
That's why you see one set of emoji on Facebook's web version, but the Apple one on the iPhone app. Samsung users see their own emoji, and Google makes another set for stock Android users.

But if you've been used to WhatsApp's current set of emoji, don't worry, the new changes are fairly slight.
This was probably done so as not to rock the boat for the hundreds of million Android WhatsApp users.
