Sharing stickers has become the main reason why many people use WhatsApp. And yes, Meta knows it and wants further improve the use of stickers. At least that's what we see in their next new features, already previewed in some beta versions like those for Android and which will surely end up also arriving on iPhone.
Concretely, the platform is already deploying a functionality with which share stickers faster without having to transmit them, in addition to developing the definitive function: a sticker maker in the app itself.
Finally, WhatsApp will allow you to create stickers from the application itself

Until now, whenever we wanted to share an official WhatsApp sticker, we had no choice but to send them individually in chats so that our family and/or friends have to add them manually. It is a tedious process and therefore the platform is about to implement a function with which share the entire sticker pack via link for direct download.
Of course, we will also see improvements in share custom or third-party packs. Users can send the entire package in a single chat message so downloading is as easy as with WhatsApp's own packs.
Although if we have to highlight a future novelty of WhatsApp, it is the power create stickers from the WhatsApp app itself. WABetaInfo talked about this idea some time ago, which, at the moment, is in development and is not even in beta. However, a lot is expected from it, since it will save us from having to use third-party applications and will be able to create everything in one place.
It is precisely this sticker creation tool that can be a “problem” for Apple. It won't be something that keeps Tim Cook up at night, but it will be a rival to that iPhone feature that lets us quickly create stickers just by selecting a photo. A feature present since iOS 16 and which has continued to improve in iOS 17 and iOS 18.
And we talk about the future all the time because, at the moment, sharing stickers faster is something that has only reached a few users of the beta version of WhatsApp on Android. It is expected that in the coming weeks it will be rolled out to everyone and will include those on iOS.
There are more doubts about the launch of WhatsApp to all end users, given that there are times when the application took months and months to implement functions that were in beta and in other cases, it released excellent news all at once without having been announced. this for only a few days in beta. So you just have to be patient.
