How to download, send and manage sticker packs in WhatsApp

WhatsApp, as a messaging app, has achieved incredible popularity. There are already more than 2 billion users worldwide.

One of the things that boosted this platform was the possibility to use stickers in their conversations, which took even further their options. The creativity of the users were not expected and the chats were filled with hundreds of them, this because users have the possibility to customize them at their convenience. But this brought with it an inconvenience, the fact that they could be customized, brought a lot of them and then it was not so easy for us to find them quickly.

Organize your stickers in WhatsApp

The WhatsApp app has only one way to save your stickers and places them in your favorite folder.

There is an application called Stickers Maker, which helps you create them and can also organize them for you. When creating new stickers, they will be saved in a folder called “Pack”, which will help you to get them faster since you will have the option to create as many packs as you need and with the theme you want. With this you will be able to keep the favorites folder clearer and you will be able to find your favorite stickers for an ideal reaction.

Download Stickers

If you want to download some stickers without the need to download them all, head towards the smiley face icon at the bottom left of all conversations, just to the right of the space where you can type your messages.

When the sticker window unfolds, tap on the stickers icon below that screen, which looks like a sticker that’s taking off, half-oval. Then tap on the icon that has one more symbol inside a round, which you will see at the top right of the gray box. With it, you’ll enter the sticker pack shop.

After entering the sticker storage area, click the package in which you want to save one or more of them. After entering one of the packages, press and hold the label you want to save instead of pressing the download button.

A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to add the stickers to your favorites. All you have to do now is click the “Add” button and the relevant stickers will be saved for you. You can repeat this operation for everyone you want to keep.
