WhatsApp hacks: This hidden trick will let you convert any image into a sticker

WhatsApp stickers are one of the many interesting ways users can get creative in sharing their reactions on the platform. The company not only gives users access to its own sticker store, but it also lets users import stickers from third-party app — a feature that is available on both Android and iOS. Beyond this, the Meta-owned messaging app has a sticker-maker tool that can be used to convert almost any image into a sticker. However, one caveat of this feature is that it is available only on WhatsApp Web. Apart from the mentioned tool, there is another WhatsApp feature that lets users convert any image shared within a chat into a sticker.
