According to reports, WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform owned by Meta, is working on a new feature known as the “sticker maker tool.” This feature will allow users to create stickers directly within the WhatsApp application on iOS devices. Users will have access to a “New Sticker” option in the chat share action sheet, enabling them to select photos from their device’s library and utilize various editing tools, including the ability to remove backgrounds. The introduction of this feature aims to streamline the sticker creation process by eliminating the need for users to rely on third-party applications.
While WhatsApp already offers a similar sticker maker tool on its Web and Desktop versions, the iOS version is expected to provide users with enhanced editing capabilities and a more seamless sticker creation experience. The upcoming in-app sticker maker tool is anticipated to be released as part of a future app update, offering users a convenient way to personalize their conversations with custom stickers.
In addition to this sticker-related update, WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new group calling feature for macOS devices. Previously, macOS users faced limitations when it came to initiating group calls, as the call buttons were either disabled or non-functional. However, with the latest WhatsApp beta update, macOS users now have the ability to start group calls as the call buttons (both audio and video) have become accessible. This enhancement provides macOS users with a more comprehensive calling experience, allowing them to connect with multiple participants simultaneously.
Overall, these upcoming features demonstrate WhatsApp’s commitment to improving its user experience by introducing innovative tools and enhancing communication capabilities across different platforms.
