Stickers are pictures that you can add to your text messages that give you way more options than traditional smileys or emoji. WhatsApp doesn't actually have sticker support, but you can use images in much the same way. There are tons of sticker apps available on your device's app store, but WhatsApp also lets you attach any image that you want. This means that you can use any image as a potential sticker if you choose.

Method 1 of 2:
Using Sticker Apps
Understand how stickers work in WhatsApp. WhatsApp does not actually support stickers. Instead, you'll be attaching images to your WhatsApp messages. There are several apps that contain collections of images that look like traditional stickers. You can add these to your messages so that the recipient sees them.- Unfortunately, because WhatsApp doesn't actually have stickers, you can't use animated Stickers in WhatsApp. You can, however, send short video clips.
Open your device's app store. There are lots of apps available that offer thousands of different stickers for use in WhatsApp and a variety of other messaging services. Sticker apps are available for both iOS and Android.Advertisement
Search for a sticker app. When browsing through sticker apps, make sure that you don't install any apps that require too many permissions. Read reviews to see if the app works for other WhatsApp users. Many sticker apps only have a small selection of free stickers. Some of the most popular apps include:- Emojidom (Android)
- Smileys and Memes for Chat (Android)
- Stickers Free (iOS)
- ChatStickerz - Funny Emoji Stickers (iOS)
Open the sticker app to find a sticker. Most sticker apps have multiple categories of sticker. Many apps have a free selection of stickers along with a selection of stickers that requires payment. Find the perfect sticker for your message.
Tap the sticker that you want to use. This will select the sticker that you want to add to WhatsApp.
Add your selected sticker to WhatsApp. The process will vary depending on the app that you are using.- Emojidom - Emojidom contains a keyboard and text screen. Type out your message and include any of the stickers that you want. Tap the "Share" button when you are finished and then select "WhatsApp". You can also tap the "Attach" button in WhatsApp and choose Emojidom as your album to select any of its stickers.
- Smileys and Memes for Chat - Tap the sticker you want to send to WhatsApp. Once the sticker has been selected, tap "WhatsApp" in the lower-right corner. Make any edits you'd like, then tap the "Done" button. WhatsApp will open, and you can select the conversation you want to add it to.

Method 2 of 2:
Using Any Image
Understand that WhatsApp treats stickers like images. Since WhatsApp doesn't have sticker support, you'll actually be sending regular image files instead. You can find image files for stickers online, and then save these to send as stickers in WhatsApp.- WhatsApp does have animated stickers. The image will send, but only the first frame will be shown.
Find an image that you want to send as a sticker. You can send any image using WhatsApp, so if you find something online that you think would make a good sticker, you can use it. You can save images from any website if you feel it would be a good sticker.
Save the image to your device. Once you've found an image that you want to use, press and hold on it to open the image menu. Select "Save Image" to save the image to your device's Photos or Gallery app.
Attach the photo to your WhatsApp message. Tap the "Attach" button on the conversation screen and browse through the images stored on your device. The image that you saved may be in an album called "Downloads".
Select the picture that you want to use as a sticker. The smaller the image is, the more sticker-like it will appear to be.Advertisement
