The second novelty is the possibility of turning a selfie into a sticker. As easy as pressing the option to create a sticker to access the mobile camera and thus take that frontal photograph to create one of the funniest content that is being shared the most from the most installed chat app in Spain.

The experience is very simple and It is now available on Android so that it will soon arrive on iOS in a new update of the iPhone app. WhatsApp has even added another option that has to do with stickers to complete the second of the three new features of this new update of the chat app.

Now, according to GSMArena, Sticker packs can be shared directly from WhatsApp without having to resort to third-party apps. Everything is done from the application itself so that you can share those kitten stickers or any graphic to liven up the start of the day or a fun moment in the chats.

And the third novelty that has to do with reactions, can now be double tap to react to a received message. That is, you can say goodbye to the long touch so that the most used reactions appear and with a quick double press you will quickly react to any message received.
