WhatsApp stickers are very popular on the messaging app and have been since its launch. WhatsApp regularly releases its own set of sticker packs that Android and iOS users can download from the app. In fact, users will be glad to know that WhatsApp has released a new sticker feature for iOS beta users today itself. WhatsApp is now testing this feature that lets users forward sticker packs. It's available with the WhatsApp beta version for iOS 2.21.120.13, according to WABetaInfo.

Fortunately, this WhatsApp feature may work with previous beta versions as well. If you're on the WhatsApp iOS beta app you will be able to use this feature. Those interested can enroll in WhatsApp's iOS beta program by downloading the TestFlight app. The beta program is usually full so you should keep looking out for an empty slot.

How to forward WhatsApp Sticker Pack

Currently, WhatsApp users can only forward stickers and not the entire sticker pack. The latest update lets you forward the entire sticker pack at once. You can check if this feature is available by going to the WhatsApp Sticker Store and looking for the forward button. To go to the WhatsApp Sticker Store, open a chat and tap on the emoji button. Then select the sticker icon and tap on the + icon to open the WhatsApp Sticker Store.

Once you're in you will see the list of WhatsApp sticker packs that you can download and add to your library. Look out for the forward button which is an arrow on top of the sticker pack. Tap on this button and select the contact or contacts you wish to send the sticker pack to. WhatsApp will send a deep link so that you can quickly view and download the sticker pack. As noted by WABetaInfo, this feature is available only for the official WhatsApp sticker packs. It will not work with third-party sticker packs that are not available in the WhatsApp Sticker Store.

Since this feature is already available on WhatsApp's beta iOS app, it is expected to roll out to all users soon.

WhatsApp also releases dedicated sticker packs for special occasions. users should know that there are various sticker-maker apps available through which users can actually make their own stickers.
