For some time now, WhatsApp stickers are the most popular way to convey your emotions. Previously, this task fell to emojis, which gave way to GIFs. But now the fashion is to communicate using this type of memes in sticker format in your conversations.
Until recently, the best way to get stickers was by exchanging them with your contacts, as if they were trading cards in the playground. Or download an application to create your own stickers. But iPhone users have the advantage of being able to convert photos from their gallery into stickers to use in WhatsApp.
Although Apple smartphones have just witnessed the launch of the iOS 17 operating system, the truth is that this function was introduced in an update to iOS 16. But there are those who will not have discovered it yet and, therefore, are missing out on the convenience and versatility of being able to make your own stickers from the iPhone gallery. We tell you how to do it step by step.
Once you send it, any of your contacts can save that sticker to share it with other people, something you should keep in mind when deciding what to send, for security and privacy reasons. Of course, this iPhone function has certain limitations, since not all the photos in your gallery can be transformed into stickers. For example, it does not work well with screenshots or diffuse photographs where there is no defined silhouette that can be extracted from the image. In any case, you can try it with as many photos as you want and be surprised by how artificial intelligence works on your smartphone.
