beta testers. The users need to install the update version 2.24.6.5 to access the feature.
WhatsApp is rolling out a new tool designed for creating stickers from images. Users can easily convert an image into a sticker by accessing the sticker keyboard and choosing the "create" option, or by directly opening the image, accessing the overflow menu, and selecting the "create sticker" option.
Furthermore, users can edit existing stickers by choosing the "edit sticker" option. When a photo is selected, WhatsApp automatically opens the drawing editor, focusing on the subject within the image. If the result doesn't match your preferences and you desire a different style, alternative stickers are available from the choices at the bottom of the screen.
“Users can express themselves more uniquely and creatively by turning their photos into stickers, without having to navigate to external sources or download additional apps. With the introduction of the sticker editor feature, WhatsApp significantly enhances convenience while saving users valuable time and effort,” mentions the report.
WhatsApp search by date feature
WhatsApp has revealed the rollout of the "search by date" function for both personal and group chats on Android devices. This feature, already accessible on other platforms such as iOS, Mac desktop, and WhatsApp Web, enables users to search for a specific message, photo, or video sent on a particular date. Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder, and CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, shared this announcement on his WhatsApp channel.
