WhatsApp has introduced a new built-in sticker maker tool that allows iOS users to effortlessly create personalized stickers without leaving the app. The updated sticker experience aims to make chats more fun and expressive.
Make Stickers from Photos
The new sticker maker lets you turn any photo from your camera roll into a customized sticker within WhatsApp. There is no longer need to use third-party apps or complex workarounds.
You can directly access it from the sticker tray next to the text box. Just tap “create sticker”, select an image and the tool auto-crops into a sticker. You can further tailor it with text, doodles, overlays and more.
Once created, stickers get saved to your tray for quick access later. You can reuse them in any chat with end-to-end encryption security.
Edit Existing Stickers
Apart from making new stickers, the sticker maker also allows editing any existing ones.
Simply long press a sticker and choose “edit sticker”. Then add text captions, freehand drawings, emoji overlays and customize as required.
The updated experience delivers creative flexibility to make conversations more personalized. You can create insider joke stickers for groups or stickers commemorating memories with friends.
The ability to quickly spin your own stickers from photos now sits alongside WhatsApp’s vast official and third-party sticker library.
The new sticker maker is launching this week for iOS 17 and above. iOS users on older versions can still edit existing stickers. It is already available on WhatsApp Web.
So tap into your creativity and make your chats pop with DIY stickers on WhatsApp’s secure platform.
