In 2025, Android users of WhatsApp have several ways to access, create, and organize stickers, including packs with memes, animated stickers, and custom options directly within the app.
-
Sticker packs: Apps like “Stickers 2025 – WASticker” offer thousands of sticker packs—ranging from memes and animated “flork” figures to love- and phrase-themed collections—frequently updated for WhatsApp [1] [2] [3]. These apps also let users create their own sticker packs with easy editing tools.
-
Creating stickers in WhatsApp: WhatsApp for Android now allows users to create stickers directly in the chat, without needing any external app. You can select any photo in a chat, tap the three-dot menu, choose “Create sticker,” and then edit: cropping, adding text or decorations. Once sent, the custom sticker stays saved and is available in your collection [8]. This builds on the mobile and web-based sticker creation features from earlier updates.
-
Animated stickers and custom packs: Animated stickers (stickers with movement) are widely supported both in third-party apps and directly in WhatsApp. Users can make their own animated or static stickers within these apps or follow in-app WhatsApp tutorials, as shown in recent video guides in 2025 [2] [4] [5].
-
No external app required: For users who prefer not to download extra apps, you can now create WhatsApp stickers without any external tools, directly through the WhatsApp interface—simply from your Android or PC, following straightforward steps presented in updated tutorials [5] [7] [8].
-
Organization of stickers: Dedicated Android sticker manager apps are still recommended if you want to organize your sticker folders or create advanced sticker packs in 2025; WhatsApp’s own organization tools remain basic, so third-party managers may help for power users [9] [10].
-
Technical requirements for WhatsApp stickers: All stickers must be 512×512 pixels with a transparent background and less than 100KB each. Sticker pack tray icons should be 96×96 pixels and under 50KB. WhatsApp also provides sample apps and APIs for developers to create and publish their own sticker packs [6].
In summary, Android users in 2025 can choose between thousands of themed and animated sticker packs using third-party apps, create and send custom stickers directly inside WhatsApp with no extra tools, and opt for sticker manager apps for more advanced organization.
