WhatsApp has introduced a new feature for iOS users, allowing them to share entire sticker packs in a single step. The functionality, previously exclusive to Android users, is now available in the latest WhatsApp update, version 24.24.83, which can be downloaded from the App Store.

Streamlined sticker sharing

With this update, iOS users can now share complete sticker packs directly in chats or group conversations. To use the feature, users must open a chat, navigate to the sticker picker, select their desired sticker pack, tap on the three-dot menu, and choose the "Share" option. Once sent, the recipient will receive the sticker pack as a message and can download it with one click.

This streamlined process significantly reduces the effort required for sticker sharing. Previously, users had to request individual stickers and save them one by one. The new feature not only saves time but also enhances the overall messaging experience, making interactions more dynamic and engaging.

A phased rollout

The sticker pack sharing feature is being rolled out gradually to iOS users worldwide. Not all users will receive it immediately, but WhatsApp has assured that the feature will be available to everyone soon. The company recommends keeping the app updated through the App Store or TestFlight to ensure access to the latest features.

Enhancing user experience

This update marks another step in WhatsApp's ongoing efforts to improve its platform for users. By addressing user feedback and introducing practical features like sticker pack sharing, the messaging app continues to maintain its position as one of the leading platforms for instant communication.

The addition of this feature is expected to boost user engagement, particularly among those who use stickers frequently in their conversations. It also highlights WhatsApp's commitment to providing a seamless and enjoyable messaging experience across both Android and iOS platforms.

WhatsApp has not announced plans for additional sticker-related features, but the company is known for rolling out incremental updates to improve its usability and appeal to a global user base.

WhatsApp previously rolled out a new feature in its latest beta update, version 2.24.25.29, which introduces reminder notifications for unread messages from important contacts. The update is available for Android users enrolled in the Google Play Beta Programme.

Previously, WhatsApp's reminders were limited to status updates from frequently contacted individuals.

The latest feature now extends these alerts to unread chat messages, aiming to ensure users do not overlook communication with their most active contacts.
