New WhatsApp feature: Create, save stickers directly to your tray with no need of sending

WhatsApp for Android is testing a new feature that allows users to create and save stickers without the need to send them first. This feature was spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta update (version 2.25.24.23) and aims to make sticker creation more seamless and user-friendly. Users will be able to design custom stickers and save them directly to their sticker tray for use in future chats, without having to share the stickers initially to keep them.

Currently available in beta, this feature is expected to roll out to all Android users after successful testing. It complements WhatsApp’s existing sticker capabilities, including AI-generated stickers that users can create based on text prompts. The update reflects WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to enhance customisation and creative expression within chats.

This new sticker creation and saving feature will allow WhatsApp users to build personalised sticker collections quickly and easily, enhancing the messaging experience.
