WhatsApp’s custom sticker maker tool is now rolling out to iOS users worldwide. The feature was already available on the desktop and web app of the Meta-owned chat platform. The company also announced AI stickers earlier this month for mobile platforms, which allowed iOS users to drag and drop images in the chat to send as a sticker. Now, iOS users will be able to create custom stickers with text and emojis natively from WhatsApp itself. The process is quite easy to use. Let’s take a look at the latest WhatsApp custom sticker tool for iPhone and how to use it.
WhatsApp Custom Sticker Tool for iPhone Rolling Out Now
WhatsApp stickers add a whole lot of dynamics and emotions to the ongoing conversation. However, until now iPhone users were stuck with third-party sticker packs that need to be downloaded from the App Store. Or use unreliable custom sticker-making apps that require access to the gallery to create stickers and have a complicated process.
WhatsApp is now making it easier for iOS users to create custom stickers from personal photos. This will help users add a personal touch to their stickers and conversations. The feature is rolling out in a phased manner and if you have not received it yet, wait for a few days.
