Meta-owned WhatsApp is currently working on a new update which would allow users to create stickersright within the app, WaBetaInfo reported.
According to the app-tracking website, the instant messaging app has submitted the update to the TestFlight beta Program, which will beavailable in a future update.
The feature, named sticker maker tool, is underdevelopment and is not yet available to beta testers.
This new update would allow users to create stickers from their images quickly. "This feature uses iOS 16 APIs to extract a subject right out of an image and then, it is automatically converted into a sticker in the app," said WaBetaInfo.
The sticker tool will be availablewithin the chat share action sheet. Users will be able to choose a photo from their gallery and WhatsApp would provide them with some tools to edit it including the ability to remove the background.
With this feature in the app, users will not have to download third-party apps as they will have a morenative experience while making stickers.
This tool is availableon WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop. However, iOS users will get additional tools when this feature becomes accessible to them.
