How to make cartoon stickers of your face with the Google Gboard keyboard

We love using stickers. As soon as it was available for WhatsApp, more than a few of us began to download sticker packs from the Google Play Store, or even tools to create our own. The stickers were joined to the emoticons to show that non-verbal communication is becoming more and more present. It's even fun to be able to have a conversation with only GIFs, memes, stickers and emoticons.

Well, now imagine being able to send a sticker but based on your face.We say 'based' because it is not that you take a photo, cut it out and share your face as if it were a sticker. No. We are talking about creating our own caricature and making it a sticker, and then sending it to our contacts via WhatsApp. Isn't that cool? Well, that is what we are going to teach you in this special. For this you will only need your mobile with WhatsApp and Gboard installed. Let's start!

First of all, we must make sure that, on our mobile, we are using the Google Gboard keyboard. If we do not have it downloaded, we go to the Play Store and proceed to install it. The keyboard is completely free and does not have . Once downloaded we must select it to be our default keyboard. Depending on the mobile you have, this will be the route you must take to change it but, in general, almost all of them agree in the 'Languages ​​and text input' and 'current keyboard' sections.Find ‘Gboard’ and select it.

Now we are going to go to the WhatsApp application and open it. Be careful, now we are going to click on a suitable place to start typing, make the pop-up keyboard appear and press the smiley that appears next to the space bar (If, on the other hand, a world ball appears instead of an emoticon, hold it down for a few moments and the emoticon will appear. The globe key is used to switch between keyboard languages ​​and you can change it in the keyboard settings).

Now look at the bar where it says 'Write your message': below you will find a series of icons in a grid. You have to select that icon that looks like a colored face with a blue exclamation mark. Next, a small window will appear in which you are invited to create your personalized stickers.Tap on 'Create' and the front camera will open. Scan your face, adjusting it to the guides that appear. An animation will then appear which, when finished, will result in your face in three different sticker packs, which will have been automatically added to your collection.

The stickers you just created can be customized. That is, if in the result obtained there is something that does not fit you (your face does not conform to reality, you have less beard or bigger eyes, etc.) you can edit them at any timeAt this moment, you will be able to share your face with whoever you want thanks to the personalized Gboard stickers. The result is really surprising and, in my personal case, the 'doll' created is quite similar to what I am like in real life. Do not wait any longer and try now to make a sticker of your face and share it with friends and family.
