Before we get started with the guide, ensure that you are using the latest update of WhatsApp on your phone. This feature is available from the stable version 2.25.1.72 on Android and 24.25.79 on iOS. Once done, follow these simple steps:
1. Select the Stickers option in any WhatsApp conversation. This works in both individual and group chats.
2. Tap on the Create button and select the Camera option.
3. Click a picture using the camera on your phone. You can switch between the front and rear cameras.
Tip: You can also add backgrounds, and filters, and choose between 30+ effects while clicking this image. These changes will also be reflected in your sticker.
4. WhatsApp will remove the background from the image and provide a cutout sticker by default. You can also use the full image by selecting between the two choices.
5. Adjust the size of the sticker by using the pinch-to-zoom gesture. You can also add text, emojis, and other elements to edit your sticker.
6. Once you have customized your sticker, hit the Send button in the bottom right corner.
Your newly made sticker will be shared in the conversation. The receiver can save the sticker on their phone and share it with other members. You can also add it to your favourites list.
