Meta-owned WhatsApp is currently working on a new update that will allow users to create stickers within the app, WaBetaInfo reported.
According to the app tracking website, the instant messaging app has submitted an update to the Test Flight beta program, which will be available in a future update.
The feature, called Sticker Maker Tool, is in development and not available to beta testers yet.
This new update will allow users to quickly create stickers from their photos. “This feature uses iOS 16 APIs to extract a subject from an image and then, it is automatically converted into a sticker in the app,” said WaBetaInfo.
The sticker tool will be available in the chat share action sheet. Users will be able to select an image from their gallery and WhatsApp will provide them with some tools to edit it, including the ability to remove the background.
With this feature in the app, users will not need to download third-party apps as they will have a more native experience while creating stickers.
This tool is available on WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop. However, iOS users will get additional tools when the feature becomes accessible to them.
