New WhatsApp update for April
During the month of February 2023, WhatsApp developers introduced new custom stickers and began to prepare a tool for creating stickers directly from the app. Now with the latest update, this sticker maker tool for WhatsApp is now available.

The process for creating WhatsApp stickers within the messaging app itself is very simple. You just have to extract a subject from a photo (keeping your finger pressed on it) and drag it to the WhatsApp application. the app will automatically convert the image to a sticker that you can add to your sticker gallery. It is important to note that this functionality is available for iOS 16 and later versions.
The new WhatsApp Messenger update has arrived very recently, in the last few hours, and it is now available in the App Store with this new feature to create stickers.
