If you're an iPhone WhatsApp user, seeking ways to create and save stickers within the app, then Gadinsider has this guide to alleviate your tension. 

WhatsApp iOS version 25.31.75 allows you to create personalised new stickers and add them directly to your collection without needing to send them first. 

WhatsApp aims to simplify how you manage and organise stickers. This update is helpful for users who enjoy personalising chats with stickers, as it allows them to create a sticker collection in their free time. 

Here's how you can create and save stickers on WhatsApp

  1. Open a chat in WhatsApp.
  2. Tap the emoji icon to the right of the text box. 
  3. Choose the sticker icon.
  4. Tap 'Create' 
  5. Customise your sticker using the editing tools to add text, draw, or apply other effects. 
  6. Send the sticker to a chat. 
  7. Your sticker is automatically saved to your collection for future use. 

However, if you want to create more advanced stickers, then you can use third-party sticker maker apps, which are available on the App Store, but they are not required for basic creation within WhatsApp.
