However, users registered to the beta version of the application They are already getting the new functionality.

The purpose of the new sticker editor is that we can: use our own images to create stickers, you can even add words, emoticons and emojis. It doesn’t matter whether it is a photo we took with our mobile camera or an image downloaded from the internet, the tool allows us to create exactly the sticker we need for any situation.

The tool is very easy to use and works very similar to the iPhone version that Xataka Móvil tested earlier this year. The Android version announced on WaBetaInfo also allows you to select an image from the gallery and the same app will analyze it and will crop the subject by removing the background of the image.

We can then edit the WhatsApp sticker to surround it with a white frame and finally add emojis and text if we wish. Once ready we can ship and also save to our favorite stickers listWe can use it again whenever we want and whenever the situation requires it.

This feature is now available for Android beta users, especially version 2.24.6.5. It is not yet known when the new sticker editor will be available for all WhatsApp users on Android, but it will not be long, considering that the function is already available in beta on both Android and iOS.
