You can now create and share your own sticker packs on WhatsApp.

Your favorite stickers will no longer get lost in a pile of saved collections.

For WhatsApp, an update has been released that significantly simplifies sticker organization. Now you can collect them into personal sets directly within the app—without the need for third-party tools.

Previously, WhatsApp allowed saving individual stickers, but finding them could be challenging, especially with a large number. The new feature addresses this issue.

You can create your own sticker set in just a few steps:

• Open any chat and tap the sticker icon on the right side of the message input field.
• Tap the pencil icon and select the stickers you want to add to the set.
• Click on the three dots in the bottom left corner of the screen and choose "Add to sticker set."

You can save the selected images in an existing set or create a new one. There is also an option to share the entire sticker collection with another user—just tap the three dots to the right of the set and select "Send."

Previously, the messenger received a number of other useful innovations. Among them are an indicator of the number of participants who are online in group chats, a document scanning and sending feature, and the ability to set WhatsApp as the default app for calls and messages on iPhone.
