Nowadays, if you want stickers for WhatsApp, you can choose the packages that are included in the application, download other packages or create your own with specialized applications. WhatsApp for PC works in another option: send a photo as a sticker.
As revealed by WaBetaInfo, the beta version of WhatsApp Desktop adds a button when sending a photo, which turn said photo into a sticker before sending it. In this way, instead of appearing large, it appears with the size and appearance of a sticker.
Send photos as stickers with WhatsApp
Today there are several ways to create stickers from your photos, but in all cases you need use an external application and create the sticker pack. It is not overly complicated, but it requires time and some patience.
Apparently, this will not be necessary soon, at least with the help of WhatsApp Desktop, the version for Windows and Mac. This version has recently gained some additional editing tools, to which a button will be added in the future to send a photo as a sticker.
At the moment, the operation is extremely simple because with just pressing the button the photo sent to the conversation as a sticker instead of as photo. That is, at a smaller size and without opening large when touching it.
Being a feature still in testing, there could always be changes before it reaches users, but for now there aren’t any additional option or clipping: the sticker is created the same as the image.
According to WaBetaInfo, sending photos as stickers is in development at WhatsApp Desktop but curiously not in WhatsApp for Android or iOS, at least for the moment. As always, we have no news on when it could be activated for users.
