WhatsApp is one of the most feature-rich messaging platforms on the internet, and it’s always working on bringing new functionality. One feature is the ability to create stickers from images in your gallery. Well, according to a new report, WhatsApp is going to take that to the next step. WhatsApp is bringing custom stickers to iOS users.
Stickers are some of the most popular ways of communicating with other people on messaging platforms. If you’re excited about something, why write that down in text when you can use a small sticker of a dog giving a thumbs up? It’s a great feature for any platform, and WhatsApp has a way of personalizing it.
Currently, you are able to use images from your gallery as stickers. All you have to do is drag and drop the image from your gallery into the WhatsApp conversation. At that point, it will show up in the conversation.
WhatsApp is bringing custom stickers to the iOS version of the app
According to the report, this is coming to users running iOS 17. As the name suggests, you’ll be able to further customize your stickers to suit your needs. Simply tap on the sticker tray and select the Create Sticker button. Then, you’ll select the image you want to import as a sticker. When you do that, you’ll see a simple image editing UI pop-up. There, you’ll be able to add text, draw on it, or paste cut out images.
Once you’re done, you can simply add the sticker to your conversation. This is a fun way to make your chat experience more personal.
This feature is not for everyone
Right now, it seems the iPhone users are the only ones able to edit their stickers. We’re not sure when WhatsApp plans to launch this for Android users- thankfully, the text formatting tools are finally making their way to Android.
To top this off, you cannot use custom stickers if you are on any version of iOS older than iOS 17.
