WhatsApp introduces two exciting new features: Now create stickers from your selfies!

WhatsApp has introduced two new features to enhance the user experience. If you frequently use stickers in your messages, you can now create new stickers from your selfies.

More than 3.5 billion people around the world use WhatsApp on their smartphones, making it the biggest messaging app globally. People love it for its easy-to-use design, allowing them to chat, make voice calls, and video calls effortlessly. WhatsApp is constantly adding new features to improve user experience, and it recently launched two exciting updates for 2024.

If you enjoy taking selfies, you’re in for a treat! WhatsApp is now letting users create stickers directly from their selfies. This means you can turn your fun pictures into cool stickers to send to friends.

In addition to that, WhatsApp has made it easier to react to messages. Previously, you would have to press and hold on a message to show your reaction. Now, you can simply double-tap on a message to quickly access a list of fun reaction emojis. This update makes messaging even more engaging and is similar to features you might find on Instagram.

These new features are being rolled out for both Android and iOS users. Here’s a quick look at what you can expect:

1. Selfie Stickers: You can convert your selfies into stickers. Just go to the sticker option, click on create, and then select the camera to snap a picture.

2. Quicker Reactions: Instead of long-pressing a message to react, just double-tap it, and you’ll see a list of emojis to choose from.

WhatsApp continues to enhance your messaging experience, making it more fun and convenient!
