To create a sticker, users need to open the sticker tray, select 'create sticker', choose an image from their gallery, customize it, and send.

Editing an existing sticker follows a similar process, with users needing to long press the sticker they wish to edit and select 'edit sticker'.

The sticker maker feature is already available on WhatsApp Web and will be rolling out on iOS 17+ over the coming days.
