NEW STICKER CREATION SHORTCUTS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.1.10.72 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a new sticker editor feature. Thanks to this feature, users can now create their personalized stickers right within the sticker keyboard, making the creation process more convenient. It appears that WhatsApp is now committed to making it easier for users to understand which stickers they can create by introducing two different shortcuts. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.9.10.74 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is now rolling out a feature to offer new sticker creation shortcuts!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is updating its sticker creation icon to align with the latest modern design of the app. Additionally, WhatsApp is now separating the sticker creation tool from the AI-based sticker creation feature. Previously, eligible users who could create AI-generated stickers accessed it through the same entry point used to create personalized stickers from their photo library. This led to some confusion, as users had to choose between the two options through a pop-up alert.
In our opinion, the recent changes regarding how users can create stickers add a layer of convenience to the user experience, as they make the ability to generate AI-powered stickers promptly visible within the sticker keyboard. With these latest updates, WhatsApp simplifies the process by introducing two separate entry points for creating personalized stickers and AI-generated ones. We believe that this change makes it easier for users to find the specific sticker creation tool they need, without the need of following an additional step to select which mode they want to use to generate a new sticker.
The feature to offer new sticker creation shortcuts is available to some beta testers who install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming days.
