WhatsApp is making its sticker game stronger with the addition of a new feature. As per a report by WabetaInfo, WhatsApp’s update tracker, the instant messaging app is now working on a feature that will let you create your own personalised stickers within the app while editing the images, existing stickers to refine them or using the sticker keyboard. And the crucial part is that you can save them without the need to share. news Also Read: WhatsApp’s New iPhone Update Brings A Liquid Glass Design, But Also A Strange Mute Bug

So far, the created stickers used to be sent in an active chat, which limits the use case of the customised stickers. However, the latest feature makes it flexible to use. As per the details shared by WabetaInfo, you will get an option to decide whether you want to save the sticker after creating it or want to send it in a chat. Not only that, you can also save your creations as a favourite sticker.  news Also Read: Now Apply For Delhi Govt Documents In WhatsApp Chat, No Office Visit Needed

WhatsApp Sticker Maker Update: When Will You Get It?
