CREATE AND SHARE STICKER PACKS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.16.9 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to manage multiple stickers in bulk. This feature allows users to easily organize their sticker collections by selecting multiple stickers at once for tasks such as deleting them or prioritizing favorites by moving them to the top. Previously, users had to delete stickers one by one, which required a lot of time, especially for those with large collections. With the introduction of bulk management, users can enhance the process and gain more control over their favorite stickers. It appears that WhatsApp is now dedicated to further improving the sticker experience by continuously introducing new features and updates aimed at making sticker management even more efficient. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.22.13 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to create and share entire custom sticker packs!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a new feature to quickly organize stickers, scheduled for release in a future update. With this new feature, users will be able to create their own sticker packs directly within WhatsApp without the need to rely on third-party apps. This gives users more flexibility to personalize their sticker collections by adding custom stickers or ones they have received from their contacts. Instead of favoriting numerous stickers, which can clutter the "Favorites" section and make it complicated to locate a specific sticker, users will be able to categorize them into distinct sticker packs for easier access.
This new sticker pack feature will improve organization, as managing large sticker collections can finally become more efficient by creating sticker packs right within WhatsApp. It is worth noting that users will also be able to modify these packs as they see fit, adding and removing stickers to keep their collection fresh and organized. Once a sticker pack is created, WhatsApp will make it easier for users to share their custom packs with their contacts and group chats. This means that users will not only be able to keep their stickers better organized, but they can also share their entire sticker collections once they've been added to a pack. As a result, recipients of the shared sticker pack will easily be able to import it into their own collection with just two taps. This process will ensure that friends and family can enjoy the same personalized stickers without the need of manually saving each sticker individually or rely on third-party apps in the future.
A feature to create and share entire custom sticker packs is under development and it will be available in a future update. We will keep you updated with an additional article as soon as we have more details to share about this feature.
