Step 1: Update WhatsApp
Before you can start adding stickers to your WhatsApp, make sure you have the latest version of the app installed on your device. Updating your app ensures you have access to all the latest sticker packs and features.
Step 2: Accessing the Stickers Menu
Open WhatsApp and navigate to any chat or group conversation. Tap on the smiley face icon located next to the text input field. This will open up the emoji and sticker menu.
Step 3: Adding New Sticker Packs
In the sticker menu, you will find a ‘+’ symbol on the right-hand side. Tap on it to access the WhatsApp Stickers Store, where you can explore and download various sticker packs.
Step 4: Browsing and Downloading Sticker Packs
In the Stickers Store, you will find a wide range of sticker packs available for download. Browse through the collections or type keywords in the search bar to find specific stickers. Once you’ve found a pack you like, tap on the ‘Download’ button to add it to your sticker collection.
Step 5: Managing Your Stickers
After downloading sticker packs, you can find them in the ‘My Stickers’ tab within the sticker menu. Here, you can add favorite stickers to the ‘Favorites’ section for quick access, delete unwanted packs, or rearrange the order of your sticker collection by simply tapping and dragging the stickers within the tab.
Step 6: Sending Stickers in Chats
Now that you’ve added stickers to your collection, it’s time to start using them in your chats. Open any chat or group conversation, tap on the smiley face icon, and select the sticker icon situated at the bottom of the emoji and sticker menu. From there, select a sticker from your collection and tap on it to send it in the chat.
