If you are one of those people who constantly sends stickers in his WhatsApp chatsand collect them as if they were treasures, this new WhatsApp feature is made for you. The platform is working on a major change for stickers, which will allow complete packs to be shared between users, sending them like any other file we share through the application.
WhatsApp allows us to create and import our own stickers, but sharing them with others can be a bit complicated. Although until now we had to collect each sticker as if they were Pokémon, soon we will be able to share an entire pack in one postfaster and easier.
Catch all the stickers, Pokémon style
At WhatsApp they know that stickers are very popular among users, and I'm not just referring to the legendary “The Thing” stickers that can be seen above, but also to all kinds of original stickers that reach new hands and extend their reach. During the holiday season, for example, Christmas stickers abound. Even the Prado Museum has its own pack.
The company is working on the possibility that users can create their own sticker packs, and we can also share the full sticker packs through a message. This was discovered by WaBetaInfo, in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android (2.24.22.13).

According to the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, when accessing a sticker pack in the application, we can press the three-dot button in the upper right corner of the keyboard and select the “Send” option, to share it with the contact, or contacts, from a chat.
WhatsApp has undergone several changes in recent months, including the arrival of its own artificial intelligence, Meta AI, and also some extremely useful features, like audio transcription, so you never have to listen to a voice message again if we don't. I want it. Now it's the turn of the stickers. The company wants it to be easier to share stickers with others. For now, this new feature is only available in beta, but it should affect all users of the application in the future.
