When it comes to fun-loving WhatsApp messaging, one set of emojis and GIFs doesn’t always spice up the conversation. The best way to keep the predictability out of sight is to use a variety of items. And this is where exciting stickers come into play – pretty much like fire-crackers.
While readymade stickers are great, custom ones are my favorites as they offer plenty of freedom to add a personal touch. Though I don’t consider myself a pro, I love to make eye-catching stickers for WhatsApp on iPhone and Android. If you don’t know where to begin, I can help you get started.
So, how are we going to create and add custom stickers to WhatsApp? Well, there are multiple ways to do it. But the easiest way is to use third-party sticker makers. Both the App Store and Google Play Store boast a ton of great sticker makers so there is absolutely no dearth of options out there.
What’s more, most of them are available for free and offer a ton of editing tools. Therefore, you can get the most out of your creativity to craft hilarious WhatsApp stickers even without burning a hole in your pocket!
