WhatsApp for iOS 25.10.72: what's new?

WhatsApp has released a new iOS update through the App Store, bringing the version up to 25.10.72.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to add sticker photos to status updates, and it's available to some users!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.5.20 update, we announced that a feature to add sticker photos to status updates was available. This feature enables users to enhance their updates by overlaying images in a variety of shapes and sizes, tailoring their sticker photos to fit the context of their status update. Additionally, users can resize and move these stickers freely, offering full control over how the images are displayed and layered. It appears that WhatsApp is now testing this feature with some users on the iOS app, as they have reported seeing the new content sticker before sharing their images and videos. With the release of the latest WhatsApp for iOS 25.10.72 update, which is available on the App Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to add sticker photos to status updates!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, some users can access a new content sticker feature directly within the drawing editor screen. This feature allows users to personalize their status updates in a more creative and expressive way by letting them overlay additional photos directly onto the main photo or video. These sticker photos can be modified in both size and shape, offering more freedom and flexibility in storytelling.

Users can choose from several predefined shapes to customize their sticker photos, including two rectangular options (landscape and portrait), a square, a circle, a heart, and a star. The landscape rectangle is ideal for wider images or to create a collage-style layout, while the portrait rectangle suits vertical photos or portrait shots. A square shape offers a balanced look and works well when users don't want to crop too much from the original image. The circular shape is perfect for creating profile-like cutouts or highlighting faces and specific elements in a photo. The heart shape adds a romantic or sentimental touch and is great for anniversaries, date nights, or special memories. On the other hand, the star shape can be used to highlight celebrations, achievements, or standout moments.

In addition to shape customization, sticker photos can be freely moved around the canvas, giving users full control over where they want the image to appear, as long as it stays within the frame of the status update. This flexibility makes it easier to compose visually appealing stories and layer multiple moments into one post. Sticker photos are also resizable, allowing users to make them more prominent or discreet depending on the context. This means a user can enlarge a photo to emphasize it or shrink it to fit more elements within the same frame, achieving a balanced and cohesive design.

A feature to add sticker photos to status updates is available to some users who install the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming weeks.
