WhatsApp Starts Testing Sticker Pack Sharing Feature on iOS and Android

WhatsApp has started rolling out a new feature for beta testers that allows users to share sticker packs with others on both iOS and Android devices. This feature, which has been in the works for a month, enables users to share sticker packs that they have installed on their device with other WhatsApp users. When a user shares a sticker pack, the recipient can then install the same pack on their own phone. This update is part of WhatsApp’s continuous efforts to enhance the user experience by expanding customization options, including the ability to share stickers more easily.

The new sticker-sharing feature relies on links, simplifying the process for users to send their favorite stickers to others. After updating to WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.2 or newer, or WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.24.10.72, testers can access the updated sticker section. These changes, first spotted by feature tracker WABetaInfo, offer users a more interactive way to engage with the app’s sticker feature, making it easier to share personalized content with friends and family.

For those using the beta versions of the app, a new three-dot button appears while browsing through installed sticker packs. Tapping this button reveals two options: “Send” and “Remove.” By selecting “Send,” users can generate a unique link to the sticker pack and send it to another WhatsApp user. This makes sharing stickers as simple as forwarding a message or media file.

In addition to the sticker-sharing feature, WhatsApp has begun testing a new option for some users to add a message when forwarding content. This will allow users to personalize their forwarded messages and make sharing content more meaningful. Together, these updates highlight WhatsApp’s commitment to improving its platform with new features that enhance communication and provide users with more ways to express themselves creatively.
