Happy Krishna Janmashtami 2021 WhatsApp Wishes Stickers: WhatsApp is one of the most widely used encrypted messaging apps in the world, but the app has special significance in a country like India. This is because users in India rely on the app not only to communicate with their friends and family, but also to send wishes on special occasions and festivals. Since the arrival of the novel coronavirus pandemic last year, festive celebrations have been muted thanks to social distancing and safety measures. August 30 will mark the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna, which is celebrated as Janmashtami 2021 – a festival that is not complete without the exchanging of wishes and greetings.

During these festive times, services like WhatsApp are used to safely send creative messages and wishes to friends, coworkers and family in the form of images, stickers and GIFs. For those looking to celebrate Janmashtami in style and with some creativity, here's a handy guide to picking the right stickers to put a smile on the faces of your friends and family.

While WhatsApp has a lot of stickers for various occasions (the most recent addition is the Happy Rakhi sticker pack) there is currently no officially supported sticker pack that allows you to send Janmashtami themed stickers. Luckily, WhatsApp allows users to import third-party sticker packs after they have been downloaded, which makes adding the sticker pack you are looking for very easy.
