iOS users can now create, edit and share their own stickers on WhatsApp iOS without leaving the app.
Whatsapp announced that users can create their own stickers without having to drag-and-drop from the image gallery, or use unofficial third-party apps.
The messaging platform says that the sticker maker function is already available on WhatsApp Web and they are rolling out the feature on iOS 17+ over the coming days.
If you’re not on the latest version of iOS, Whatsapp says that you will still be able to edit existing stickers but you can’t create new ones.
Whatsapp says that the sticker maker has an auto-crop function as well as a suite of editing tools including text, drawing, and even the ability to overlay other stickers. Once sent, the sticker is automatically saved in the sticker tray so you can resend them later.
For adding some fun to your chats, or bringing to life a group joke, now you can quickly and creatively turn your own photos into stickers, or personalize existing ones.
