Edit Existing Stickers on WhatsApp (iOS)
Having learned the process of sticker creation on WhatsApp, modifying an existing sticker or the recently crafted one is now a simple task.
Customizing your WhatsApp stickers has never been easier. By long pressing on any sticker in the app’s library, you can access the Edit Sticker option. This allows you to add your own personal touch to the sticker by including text, emojis, and more. Once you’re satisfied with the customizations, simply tap the send icon to share your unique creation with your friends and family.
In addition, when your friend shares a personalized WhatsApp sticker, simply tap it to access the “Edit Sticker” feature. With this, you have the power to enhance the sticker and provide your friend with a remarkable response. An advantage of using WhatsApp’s sticker creator is the ability to edit any sticker, whether it’s from the pre-existing library or the ones you make and receive.
Sending custom stickers on WhatsApp is achieved by following the aforementioned steps. While the feature is currently exclusive to iOS users, it will soon be available to Android users, particularly with the forthcoming introduction of new text formatting tools. Furthermore, the Android version of the feature will resemble its iOS counterpart as the placement of the sticker panel is identical on both platforms.
In case you are unable to locate the large blue plus symbol to craft your personal WhatsApp stickers, it could be due to an outdated version of the application. However, once you have upgraded your WhatsApp for iOS application to the most recent edition, the symbol will be visible to you.
One aspect that I particularly enjoy about this feature is the removal of dependence on third-party sticker apps. Although, I would appreciate the option to manually crop images to create stickers, akin to the web version. Regardless, I anticipate utilizing this feature to create amusing stickers using my friends’ photos. What are your thoughts on this? Kindly share in the comments section.
