How to Create Animated Stickers on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is one of the social media that is most popular in the whole world. After Facebook, Whatsapp tends to be very popular. Who doesn’t use WhatsApp? Most times, when we buy mobile phone, we tend to see WhatsApp pre-installed on the phone which made it very easy for people to use the app.
However, despite how popular WhatsApp is, they seem to be slow in enabling interesting features for their users. Sometimes, before official WhatsApp roll out some features, that feature may have already been in other social media platform such as Telegram etc.
Today, WhatsApp has rolled out animated sticker feature for all platforms. Both those on iOS (iPhone), Android, Desktop and many more. Therefore on this post, I will be teaching you how to create animated stickers on your WhatsApp. You can be able to add them and use them while chatting with your friends and families.
Nonetheless, it is also important to note that this is not first time WhatsApp has added animated stickers on their platform. They added it when they released the Beta v2.20.194.7 but removed the feature in the next version v.2.20.194.9. With the WhatsApp latest version v.2.20.194.16 for android and v.2.20.70 for iOS, WhatsApp brought back the feature again. We hope the feature has comes to stay. Let it not be something they will remove in the next update.
How to Create Animated Stickers on WhatsApp
- To create, add and use WhatsApp animated stickers, you have to first update your WhatsApp to the latest version. If you are using Android phone, make sure your WhatsApp is on version v.2.20.194.16 or later and if you are using iPhone, make sure your WhatsApp is on version v.2.20.70 or later
- Now open WhatsApp as if you want to send someone a message, click on the emoji icon in the bottom bar
- Now select stickers option situated at the end of the screen, and click on the ‘+’ icon situated at the right side of the stickers section
- Doing that will open the stock or inbuilt stickers you can choose from
- Choose the stickers you wish you use and download them there. You can preview the sticker by tapping on the desired sticker.
- Once you click download, the sticker will be downloaded and be added to sticker section where it will be ready to be used.
The interesting thing about WhatsApp animated stickers and why is more better than emoji is because you don’t need external app to create the animated stickers. You can be able to do it directly on your WhatsApp. All you have to do is to follow the procedure above and enjoy. Personally, I love using stickers while chatting on WhatsApp, it more fun than using emoji.
