WhatsApp has become the most popularly and widely used medium for text conversation and with the reach of the platform increasing every day, new features are added from time to time to keep the users hooked. In the same line, WhatsApp now allows creating customized animated GIF stickers to be used in the chats.

Animated stickers will let you express your feeling and thoughts through animations which will surely make the conversation more interesting.

The article below will help you to know the detailed process to create GIF sticker WhatsApp and also how these stickers can be used in your videos to make the videos more entertaining.

Part 1 How to Create Custom Animated WhatsApp Stickers on Android and iPhone

Animated third-party stickers cannot be added directly to WhatsApp and thus you can create a customized one. To create these GIF stickers for WhatsApp, you would need the help of third-party apps. 

For Android devices, one such popular app is the Sticker Maker app. For iPhone, we suggest using Sticker Maker Studio app. 

Once these apps are installed on your device, GIF stickers can be made in no time.

Steps to make sticker GIF WhatsApp on Android phone
