Meta is introducing a new feature called ‘Sticker Maker’ to its instant messaging platform, WhatsApp. The feature lets you convert your photos into stickers or personalize existing stickers.
The sticker maker feature has some cool features like the auto-crop function as well as a suite of editing tools including text, drawing, and even the ability to overlay other stickers. Once you send the edited sticker it’ll be automatically saved in the sticker tray so you can resend whenever you like.
