WhatsApp stickers are about to get more fun – and personal. The Meta-owned messaging app is rolling out a new feature on iOS that will let users create, edit and share their own stickers.
Previously, stickers were discovered and shared via third-party providers or a person’s phone gallery. Now, users can create stickers within the app or edit existing stickers, with the help of a suite of editing tools. The tools include text, drawing, and the ability to overlay other stickers. Custom-made stickers are automatically saved in a user’s sticker tray once sent.
The feature is already available on WhatsApp Web and will be rolling out on iOS 17+ in the coming days. On older versions of iOS, WhatsApp users can edit existing stickers but won’t be able to make new ones.
Here’s how to do it.
Step 1:
Open your sticker tray on WhatsApp, by clicking on the sticker icon on the right of the text box.
Step 2:
Select “Create Sticker” and choose an image from your gallery.
Step 3:
Customize your sticker.
You can choose a cutout, add text, draw, or overlay other stickers to create your custom design.
