If you are a regular user of WhatsApp, you have to take a look at this. Because the popular messaging service has just launched a new collection of stickers or stickers for your chats.
This is one of the most requested options by WhatsApp users and it has finally arrived. The new feature, that is, WhatsApp stickers, will arrive for the common users who have applications for iOS, Android and Windows Phone installed on their phones .
But, what kind of stickers will users find on board the new version of WhatsApp? According to the WaBetaInfo medium, which has followed the integration of this feature since it was certain that it would materialize, WhatsApp inherits part of the sticker packages that we have already seen on Facebook
New downloadable sticker packs
From now on, users who access WhatsApp and want to use stickers in chats will have a specifically designed Stickers button for this purpose. In the case of iOS, we find it located in the chat bar. While in the case of Android, we will locate it on the keyboard.
In addition, there will be the option to purchase new packages in the WhatsApp Store. Although the truth is that they are free. That is, no it will be necessary to pay not a penny to acquire a package: you will only have to accept the download.
And to organize ourselves a bit in this crazy world of stickers, WhatsApp has decided to classify them by categories. This way it will be easier for us to find the ones we want.
If you finally downloaded a package, but you think you're not going to use it anymore, because you don't like it or for any other reason, you should know that you can remove it from what is called the Sticker Library. Another option, before starting to download without measure, is to see all the stickers that each package contains, without having to download it to your mobile.
Other interesting features for stickers
There are some options that can come in very handy and that you should know about. This is the feature that allows you to group stickers, both on iOS and Android. This is a good way to save space on the chat screen.
Although you should know that it will be WhatsApp that automatically groups all the stickers sent each time you enter the chat again. From here you can forward them at will and carry out other actions. All you have to do is click on it to activate a menu to select it as favorites, see more stickers, reply or forward to all.
How to get the new stickers
To enjoy this feature, users will have to update the version of WhatsApp installed on their mobile. In the case of WhatsApp for Android, you will have to go to version 2.18.329 (reception is enabled from version 2.18.310) and in the case of iOS 2.18.100.
As an Android user you should know that the activation of the sticker packs will take place almost immediately. But the same will not happen in the case of iOS. In this case, the activation is proving much slower.
Those who have upgraded but still don't see the feature, will need to backup chat history and reinstall WhatsAppIt is the only way to get the stickers without having to wait any longer. Keep in mind that when we reinstall WhatsApp, we receive the most up-to-date configurations from the server on our phone. This makes it easier for the feature to stay enabled.
