They express your emotions and are easy to share. They also save you the time of having copy-paste greetings into each individual private or group chat.

Now, you will be asked to select an image. You can choose from your gallery or click a new photo.
Once you’ve selected an image, you can crop it according to your needs. You can save up to 30 such images in a single sticker pack.
Once all your images in the sticker pack are ready, you can add them to WhatsApp by tapping on the Add to WhatsApp button.
Now, open a chat in WhatsApp and tap on the Emoji button in the text box. Now, tap on the Stickers icon. You should now see your personal WhatsApp sticker pack in the list.
