How to make your WhatsApp stickers

I understand that this has nothing to do with objectivity, but my main gripe with WhatsApp has always been that it's not Telegram. I liked Pavel Durov's messenger too much - with its logic, versatility and an extensive set of functions. Naturally, I was not the only one, so it made no sense to be surprised that many began to switch to Telegram. But the developers of WhatsApp did not want to lose the audience and gradually began to offer users something that was previously unthinkable. First we were given the option of direct to transfer chats from Android to iPhone and vice versa, and now they are allowed to create their own stickers. We will talk about them today.

Now you can make your own stickers in WhatsApp

How to use WhatsApp on a computer without a smartphone

So far, the ability of to make your own stickers in WhatsApp is limited only to the desktop version. That is, if you plan to make your dream come true on a smartphone or tablet, then nothing will work. WhatsApp Desktop or WhatsApp Web only. However, there is nothing complicated about this. So let's move on to the instructions.

How to make stickers in WhatsApp

Since we need the desktop version of WhatsApp to create stickers, being able to connect to it almost without using an iPhone is very useful. I myself use - if I use - only WhatsApp Web, so I will show everything using the example of the browser version of the messenger:

  • Go to web.whatsapp.com from a computer;
  • Launch WhatsApp on iPhone and open "Settings";
  • Next to your profile icon, click on the QR code;

You can only log in to WhatsApp Web using your phone

  • Select "Scan" and scan the code on a PC;
  • Confirm sign in and wait for authorization in WhatsApp.

They lied to us: WhatsApp can read our conversations and does it

After the sign-in procedure is complete, we can postpone the iPhone - we will no longer need it. Now we go directly to creating stickers in WhatsApp :

  • In the WhatsApp Web interface, select the chat with the interlocutor;

The sticker can only be made in the web version of WhatsApp

  • To the left of the message entry line, click on the paper clip;
  • Select "Sticker" and upload the picture you want to make a sticker from;

Whatsapp has a built-in sticker editor

  • Crop it, add text or emoji if needed, and send.

Naturally, WhatsApp only offers a basic set of tools sticker editing : crop, rotate, add emoji, add text, fill and decorate. In general, nothing special. Therefore, drawing a picture from scratch directly in the application interface will not work. But for situational stickers, this will be enough.

How to find stickers in whatsapp

Whatsapp on iPhone doesn't know that you just made your own stickers

Even though WhatsApp allows to create stickers, it doesn't let you collect them into a single set (stickerpack).
