Earlier this week, WhatsApp users on both iOS and Android platform started to get the new feature of Stickers in the chats. For the uninitiated, stickers are these animated graphics, that are based on various themes, moods and other categories. Stickers are present on many messaging platforms and WhatsApp is anyway quite late to the game. Hike Messenger and Telegram, for instance, have had stickers for a while now.
But to stand out and make things a wee more interesting, you can now create your own custom sticker packs for WhatsApp. You know how Google Keyboard lets you design Minis stickers? The operation is somewhat similar on WhatsApp. The only difference being, you would require a third party app to do it.
Let’s walk you through the process.

    How to make custom WhatsApp stickers.
  • After you are done adding all the stickers, hit on the green-colour Publish Sticker Pack option on the bottom right
  • Head to the Google Play Store and search the ‘Sticker maker for WhatsApp’ (by Viko & Co.) and you will get an app by the same name up there.
  • Download and install the app, and when you launch the app, you will see an option called ‘Create a new sticker pack’.
  • To give the sticker pack a custom name, you would get a pop-up option to do that first. You can totally skip this step too.
  • Once through that, you will see an empty sticker tray. Tap on another of them to add new, and you will have an option to add a file from your phone or click a new one for the sticker pack.
  • Choose and add an image, and then you can outline the part of the picture you want in the sticker. The outlining bit can get a little tricky, but you will have the option to undo and redo. So go at it!

  • How to make custom WhatsApp stickers..
  • Post-publishing, you will be asked to add these stickers to your WhatsApp app, accept and head to the WhatsApp app to enjoy these new custom stickers
  • If you haven’t received the stickers yet, this won’t be usable for now.
    In case you have the sticker pack feature on WhatsApp and want to send across some Diwali stickers to your friends, then head over here to get a complete lowdown on the same.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few c...
