ADD NEW STICKER PACKS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.23 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to offer new sticker creation shortcuts. Through this enhancement, WhatsApp aimed to make it easier for users to access the process of generating both personalized and AI-powered stickers, enhancing the overall sticker creation experience. It appears that WhatsApp is now focusing on improving the ability to add new stickers to the personal collection, as evidenced by the introduction of new features within the sticker keyboard. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.11.5 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to quickly find and add new sticker packs!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is currently in the process of developing a feature to quickly find and add new sticker packs, set for release in a future update of the app. With this feature, users will be able to explore the entire collection of official sticker packs available in the WhatsApp Sticker Store with ease, making it simpler for them to quickly add new stickers to their personal collection right within the sticker keyboard. It's also important to note that the feature will add a text field to the sticker keyboard, facilitating the search for stickers from the sticker store based on text input.
In our opinion, this feature will mark a significant stride in enhancing sticker discoverability. The ability to quickly add new sticker packs will enhance the process of finding and incorporating fresh stickers into the personal collection. We believe that this enhancement not only saves time but also encourages users to regularly explore the wide array of stickers available on the official WhatsApp Sticker Store. In addition, users will be able to discover new sticker packs directly from the sticker keyboard, without the need to manually open the sticker store every time to check for sticker updates.
A feature to quickly find and add new sticker packs is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app. We will share another article once we have new information about this feature.
