WhatsApp Making Sticker Creation Simpler

Until now, you could make and save custom stickers on WhatsApp, but it wasn’t exactly easy to find and send them, especially if you had a lot stored. That’s changing with the latest update.

You can now create sticker packs and organise your stickers into different folders. Even better, you can share an entire sticker pack with someone in one go, instead of sending stickers one by one.

A WhatsApp spokesperson told 9to5Mac, “Whether it’s a pack of stickers of your dog, or hilarious selfies of your closest friends, now you can make your chats more fun and personal, with sticker packs that are unique to you. Earlier this year we announced sticker pack sharing, so now you can create and share your very own sticker packs with your friends and family in-chat.”

WhatsApp Rolling Out More Handy Features

WhatsApp has also rolled out some other new tools recently. There’s now an indicator that shows how many people are online in a group chat. You can also scan and send documents directly and even set WhatsApp as the default calling and messaging app on your iPhone.

First reported by WhatsApp Beta source WABetaInfo, the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS enables support for the option to choose default apps. When users select the new app as their default, it is used for related actions. If you select a phone number, the iPhone will automatically use WhatsApp to call it instead of using the iOS Phone app.
