In a major update, WhatsApp has allowed users to create and manage their own sticker packs right from the app.

The feature, which is aimed at simplifying the task of finding and sending custom stickers, solves a problem that many users have been facing.

Now, with the ability to create sticker packs, you can organize stickers into multiple folders for easy access.
