New Feature: WhatsApp introduces custom sticker maker for users, here is how to use
Meta has been actively working on several updates for its instant messaging app, WhatsApp. In a recent release, the company introduced a new custom sticker maker for WhatsApp users. This new feature allows users to create, edit, and share personalised stickers directly within the app, eliminating the need to exit the application. Although the feature has been in development for some time, it is currently available for iOS users and is expected to be released for Android users soon.
From Photo to Sticker in a Snap
Gone are the days of simply dragging and dropping images. WhatsApp’s new tool empowers you to unleash your inner artist. Here’s how it works:
– Open the sticker tray and tap “Create Sticker.”
– Choose a photo from your gallery – your favourite selfie, a hilarious pet pic, or anything that sparks your imagination.
– Get creative! You can:
- Cut out just the perfect portion: Frame your subject with precision using the intuitive cutout tool.
- Add your own flair: Spice things up with text, emojis, or even doodles. Let your artistic side shine!
- Layer on the fun: Combine your photo with other stickers from your collection for truly unique creations.
Edit with Ease
Made a mistake? No worries! You can easily edit any sticker you’ve made, whether it’s a fresh masterpiece or a past creation. Just long-press on the sticker in the tray and choose “Edit Sticker” to tweak it to perfection.
This sticker-making magic is currently available for iOS 17 users and above. Android users, don’t fret! While you can’t create custom stickers just yet, you can still enjoy the fun by viewing and reacting to your friends’ creations. And hey, you can always explore the world of AI-generated stickers on Android – another cool feature exclusive to your platform.
Stickers Take Over
With WhatsApp’s new sticker maker, the possibilities are endless. Turn your inside jokes into hilarious stickers, immortalize your pets in meme form, or simply add a personal touch to your everyday conversations. So grab your iPhone, unleash your creativity, and let your sticker game shine!
