WhatsApp users on Android devices can now use the create/edit feature to generate stickers from photos.
WhatsApp beta version 2.24.6.5 for Android includes a feature that allows users to transform any image on their phone into scribbled stickers.
The sticker editor is already accessible on the iPhone, but it’s not expected to delay to become a standard feature on Android phones anytime soon.
From 2018, the Android and iOS versions of WhatsApp will now have access to both the desktop and mobile versions, thanks to the introduction of stickers. After a few years, WhatsApp started featuring animated stickers, which have undergone minimal changes since then.
There are still some minor improvements to be made.
Although it competes with some of the best messaging apps in the market, the Meta-owned site restricted users from making stickers based on their own images. A dedicated creator/editor for stickers is set to be included in the latest Beta version of this app, providing a possible change for Android users.
In WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.6.5, WhatsApp detectives at WA Beta Info discovered this inclusion.
However, loading this particular build didn’t work for me, which makes sense since it’s only rolled out to a small number of Beta testers at the moment.
When users first access the Create New tab on WhatsApp, they are immediately reminded of this addition in the sticker menu.
By using this function, you can quickly view any picture on your smartphone and convert it into a sticker. In addition to this, users can also insert new stickers into WhatsApp chats by making use of existing images.
Using the overflow menu on the top right, you can select the Create New Sticker option from the photo in the second screenshot above.
A menu displaying two options, Add to favorites and Edit Sticker, can be accessed by tapping a sticker you sent in chatting.
By using the first selection, it is simple to grab stickers for future use by simply tapping the Edit Sticker Button and swiping right to see an image editor with suggested horizontal options at the bottom of the screen.
Considering that WhatsApp for Android was first introduced in May 2023, we are convinced that it is a late development since the beta version of the app will be released this year in January. The stable version of WhatsApp for iOS includes the new sticker editor, which we anticipate will soon be available on Android Phones.
Last month, WhatsApp’s Beta Version revealed the potential release of stickers that are animated and powered by

Featuring superior animation and lossless scaling, this framework enhances the expressiveness of your personalized stickers by adding emotion to them.
The stickers that are currently available on Web P are effective, but adding Lottie support will enhance the sticker experience.
