This week, a major update for WhatsApp messenger began rolling out, introducing a new way to create and manage sticker packs without having to leave the app. This addition simplifies the process for users who regularly make their own sticker collections and use them in chats.
WhatsApp has long allowed the creation and saving of custom stickers. However, sending these stickers could be inconvenient—especially considering the vast number that users may accumulate over time. Finding the right sticker often took too much time and effort.
To address this, the developers have now integrated a feature that allows users to create sticker packs directly within the app. This not only makes the process more streamlined but also enables better organization. Stickers can now be grouped into folders, making them easier to browse and send. Additionally, users can share an entire sticker pack at once, removing the need to send stickers one by one.
According to a WhatsApp spokesperson, “Whether it’s a sticker pack of your dog or funny selfies of your friends, you can now make your chats more fun and personalized with unique sticker packs. Earlier this year, we introduced the sticker pack sharing feature, and now you can create and share your own sticker packs with your friends and family right in the chat.”
Other Recent Updates to the Messenger
The sticker pack update isn’t the only recent enhancement in WhatsApp. The app has also rolled out several other useful features aimed at improving the user experience. Among them is a new indicator that shows how many people are currently online in group chats, helping users better coordinate group conversations in real time, adds NIX Solutions.
There’s also improved support for document sharing—users can now scan and send documents directly through the app, streamlining workflows and reducing reliance on third-party apps.
For iPhone users, WhatsApp has introduced the option to set it as the default app for calls and messages, making it even more integrated into everyday communication routines.
These changes reflect WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to keep the platform user-friendly and feature-rich. We’ll keep you updated as more integrations become available and the app continues to evolve.
