When it comes to WhatsApp news, the normal thing is that it is your mobile applications, that is, the versions for iOS and Android, those that receive them before. It is normal, since the smartphone is the brain of the platform, it is the associated mobile number, and until very recently, since we have already tried the multi-device mode, a key device to be able to use it, since it had to be turned on to be able to send and receive messages.
However, according to WABetaInfo, the channel that previews WhatsApp news before they are launched thanks to an exhaustive analysis of the betas, WhatsApp Desktop will first have one of the most anticipated versions on mobile phones, the possibility of create stickers from images as easy as pressing a button on the interface when sending them.
Until now, to create stickers for the platform you have to use external tools such as Sticker maker, which our colleagues talked about in this article as a tutorial. It is not difficult, but the fact of having to resort to something external complicates everything.
Send photos as stickers in a single click
As shown, the function seems aimed at being able to convert to sticker any image we want to send. To do this, all you have to do is press a button. sticker that appears next to the ‘1’ button that is used to send photos that can be viewed only once. Probably, after doing so, it can be added to our favorites, as is the case with those already present on the platform.
From WABetaInfo they point out that the function They have only found it in the desktop beta, and that WhatsApp is not working on bringing it to mobile phones at the moment. This they always say based on what they have been able to verify in the code, obviously they do not know the internal plans of the company.
The function has reached the public beta 2.2137.3, but it does not appear to us yet having downloaded it. Regarding the stable channel, the latest version we have on macOS at the moment is 2.2134.10, released two weeks ago. Thus, in principle the function would not be far from reaching the stable version that we can download in the different application stores for Mac and Windows and on the official website.
