WhatsApp now allows iPhone users to create custom stickers within the app, making the process much more accessible. Before, users had to utilise third-party programmes to add stickers to WhatsApp. WhatsApp, on the other hand, has just released a new function that allows users to transform any photo into a sticker right from the app.
The new feature was spotted by WABetaInfo, a website that tracks changes in WhatsApp. It reports that the iOS version of WhatsApp has silently added the feature, allowing users to convert gallery photos into WhatsApp stickers without relying on any third-party apps.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create your custom WhatsApp stickers using your photos:
Step 1: Update your WhatsApp app.
Check that you have the most recent version of WhatsApp installed on your iPhone. If this is not the case, go to the App Store and update the app.
Step 2: Open a chat window.
Open a chat window with any of your contacts or groups. Then, click on the sticker icon placed on the left side of the text bar.
Step 3: Add a new sticker pack.
Click on the ‘+’ sign to add a new sticker pack. You will then see an option to create your custom stickers.
Step 4: Select a photo.
You can choose any photo from your camera roll or click a new one using your phone’s camera. You can select up to 30 photos to create a pack of stickers.
Step 5: Add text or emoji.
You can also add text or emoji to your sticker by clicking on the ‘Aa’ icon. You can choose from different fonts and colours to customize your sticker.
Step 6: Save the sticker.
After customizing your sticker, click on the ‘Save’ button. You will then see a preview of your sticker pack. You can add more stickers to your pack or delete any sticker that you do not want.
How to Create Custom Stickers on WhatsApp for iPhone
The process for creating custom stickers on WhatsApp for iPhone is not a built-in feature. Instead, the app leverages the capabilities of iOS 16’s API to separate the subject from an image through long-pressing and drag-and-drop gestures. Users may make a sticker by dragging and dropping it into a WhatsApp discussion after separating the subject.
It’s worth noting that this function isn’t as simple as it appears, but it’s still a good addition to the app. iPhone users can now experience a native personalised sticker creator function with this new feature.
Conclusion
WhatsApp’s latest feature update on iOS allows you to create custom stickers from your photos. This is a great way to add a personal touch to your chats and conversations. With the easy-to-follow steps mentioned above, you can create your custom sticker pack in no time. So, go ahead and give it a try.
