In case Anyone comes here with a similar problem, I figured out that I can make the sticker in photos and click copy instead of Add Sticker and then go to WhatsApp, put it in a text box (i did it to myself) and click paste, you then get asked if you want to send as a sticker and you say yes. The sticker is then saved into your stickers on WhatsApp. To me they look clunkier than the first ones I made that did save straight into WhatsApp. I wonder if a recent update has made this more difficult...
Thanks - that worked for me! Previously stickers I'd created from photos appeared in my whatsapp sticker library, but recently that's stopped working. The sticker is still created but I don't know where it's stored now. Your copy/paste solution is a good workaround until it's fixed, cheers.
Now that you have a floating layer with the actual sticker content, you can remove the background by deleting the underneath layer. In the layers window, right click it and then click Delete Layer in the context menu.
Now that you finished cutting, you should only have one layer that covers the whole canvas and contains the sticker at the center. If you have more layers, merge them down. In the layers window, right click the top most layer and click Merge Down.
The border is not created yet, there is only a selection for it. Before proceeding, you might want to make it smoother by applying a Gaussian Blur. To do this, click Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur in the menu bar and fill out the dialog form. The only relevant values are Size X and Size Y. I usually go with a value of 4 for both, just like with the border size.
WhatsApp is more complicated as it requires you to build a whole app to distribute your stickers. The good news is that WhatsApp already provides sample apps for third party stickers so you can just fork the repo and replace the sample sticker pack with your own.
I am experiencing the same issue on WhatsApp on a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra though it works perfectly fine on Signal. Question is who has to fix it, Samsung or WhatsApp? Regardless of who it is it should be fixed as many people are using WhatsApp and I assume it would have a bigger impact if Samsung is approaching WhatsApp in case they need to fix it than us "Users"
Yep, same here - Samsung does not seem to address this. Though stickers are working in other messengers nobody (not Samsung nor Meta) does have any interest in fixing this issue. Works on Signal, Telegram and others, not on WhatsApp. Samsung S24 Ultra with the latest upate.

If you want to trim the fat and grab only the best of the best, long-press one file to activate selection mode and tap on the rest of the files you want to export.

Depending on your age, you might think about stickers differently. I was first thinking about classical stickers with a white border until my Gen Z colleague revealed the world of stickers to me. So it is basically the evolution of an emoji, but more personalized and fun and used within messaging apps to express emotions and reactions, or convey messages in a more fun, visual way during conversations.
Then you need to remove the background of this image, using the tools that you have available like Photoshop, Paint or an AI photo editor like Photoroom. Depending on which tool you use, you will end up with an image with a transparent background. You can then personalize it even further with drawings, text, or other fun images.
Depending on your device and preference for mobile or desktop, there are various methods to upload stickers to WhatsApp. For those looking to curate entire collections, leveraging third-party tools is advisable. However, in my case, I simply aimed to craft a handful of enjoyable stickers to share with my friends and family.
iPhone users, take advantage of the convenience! WhatsApp's sticker functionality is fully accessible on iPhones. Within your photo library, a simple action achieves the desired effect: press and hold your thumb on the object you wish to extract from an image or one that you have previously created in an editor. Subsequently, an option will appear, allowing you create a sticker quickly.
Sometimes pictures speak a lot louder than just words. Whether you're using an Android, iOS, or web device, expressing yourself has never been simpler and more fun. Have a blast experimenting with different sticker packs that are already available in WhatsApp for free, and unleash your inner artist by creating your own stickers with tools like Photoroom for that extra pop!

Thanksgiving is a good time of year, with a sense of thankfulness, getting together and celebrations. Thanksgiving for me is an expression of gratitude, not only on the personal side but on professional as well (I started in Salesforce a decade back, in Q4 2008 only).
Salesforce did wonders and transformed careers of so many of us, every now and when its quite easy to run into a success story of someone not only very technical but from diverse backgrounds, education and work history. There is always a sense of giving back and help each other, and vibe around the same is quite strong as well. Again, there are many heartwarming stories of people inspiring, helping and making so many others successful.
To express gratitude and celebrate this warmth, and giving back. Team Concretio decided to come up with WhatsApp and iMessage stickers based on popular Salesforce characters like Astro, Codey, Einstein, and Appy. We felt it will be a great expression of gratitude for all Salesforce Ohana around the world to express the same using special Thanksgiving stickers based on these Salesforce chars.
Seeing crazy popularity of WhatsApp, and recently launched stickers feature, I am sure most of you know how to install and use WhatsApp stickers. I would still like to give a brief idea to avoid any slight confusions.
Stickers were submitted to both iOS and Android app stores. Android worked like charm with no fuss, but it was a long+painful journey to make things work in Apple Store. Our iOS app got rejected in iOS AppStore, and seems other publishers developing WhatsApp stickers for iOS are facing the same rejections and reasonings around it. More details are in this official WhatsApp Github repo issue comments:
This surprise rejection puts us behind the release schedule. Though there is still some hope with iOS, I created Sticker app for iMessage platform, which is again under AppStore review and we hope to clear it this time (as it's not for WhatsApp platform). Here is how they look like in dev env (simulator).
In case you are interested in above Salesforce iMessage stickers, please share fill up this short form. We promise not to spam, and only share a single update about iOS AppStore sticker listing update.
It was quite exciting to see Salesforce coming up with the idea of Stickers and AR(augmented reality) play for both Android and iOS via Dreamoji app. This app has a huge collection of stickers, and the AR stuff is quite fun to try out.
They have evolved a lot since then, and WhatsApp stickers offer the possibility to go far and allow you to personalize even more your messages. Not only for personal uses, but also for business purposes.
For instance, you can create WhatsApp stickers with your brand's logo, which is a tool to promote brand awareness and engage with your customers. Or, you can also make stickers of your and your friends' pictures or your favorite memes just to have fun.
WhatsApp for iOS or Android still doesn't have the feature that enables you to make stickers within the app. You will need to download a third-party app for that, and there are several of them. Some of the most popular ones are:
