People love using stickers to express themselves and add personality and fun to their chats. Sometimes a sticker can communicate emotions and moods better than words ever could and today, we’re adding new ways for you to personalize and enjoy stickers.
New and searchable GIPHY stickers: We’ve partnered with GIPHY to bring their extensive collection of stickers directly to WhatsApp. This integration lets you find and share relevant and engaging stickers, without having to leave the app. To access these stickers, simply tap the sticker icon and search using text or emoji.
Custom Sticker Maker is now available on Android so you can easily create, edit and share your own stickers. iOS users have been loving this feature and we’re excited to expand it to everyone. Turn your photos into personalized stickers, or customize existing ones using editing tools like crop, text, and draw. Once created, the stickers are automatically saved in the sticker tray for easy access so you can share with family and friends.
AI Stickers: If you can’t find the perfect sticker for the moment, don’t forget that you can also use Meta AI to create more custom stickers. At this time, AI sticker creation is available on iPhone and Android in the U.S. Android users can also test creating AI stickers in Spanish, and Bahasa Indonesia.
Sticker Organization: You’ll now be able to easily discover new sticker packs from WhatsApp by previewing them in the sticker tray below your downloaded ones. To organize your sticker tray, you can also tap and hold a sticker to move to top or delete it.
