WhatsApp Introduces Giphy Sticker Collection, Custom Sticker Maker and More Features

WhatsApp has introduced a slew of new additions for Android and iOS users to express themselves more creatively. It has partnered with US-based online database Giphy which makes its extensive sticker collection available to users. Additionally, Android users can now take advantage of the custom sticker maker to show their creativity and create new stickers. Other features include better sticker organisation and their creation using Meta AI – the conversational assistant powered by artificial intelligence (AI) which is available on Meta Platforms' apps such as WhatsApp and Instagram.

New Ways to Use WhatsApp Stickers

In a blog post, WhatsApp unveiled new ways for users to express themselves better using stickers. It brings Giphy's sticker collection to the instant messaging platform which enables user to search for relevant stickers without leaving the app. They can tap on the sticker icon and search for the one as per their preference.

Furthermore, the custom sticker maker is now available on Android. This feature was introduced for iOS platform in January, allowing users to select an existing image and add elements such as cutout, text and drawing on top of it. They can also edit previously created stickers which are saved in the sticker tray.

If users cannot find a sticker which matches what users wish to express, they can leverage the AI sticker creation feature via Meta AI. The feature is currently available on Android and iOS platforms in the US. It can also be accessed in two additional languages: Spanish and Bahasa Indonesia.

The instant messaging platform says it is making sticker organisation better by introducing the ability to preview new sticker packs. The new stickers can be previewed below the downloaded ones in the sticker tray. If users wish to move their position or delete them, they can simply long press on a sticker to manage it.
