The Story in Brief
WhatsApp now lets users create custom Independence Day stickers directly inside the app on Android and iOS, without using third-party AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini. Users can select a photo, add text, emojis, and drawings, then save it as a sticker to share in chats. For WhatsApp Status videos, ready-made patriotic clips are available on ShareChat, Moj, Instagram Reels and Facebook, users can download or share them directly via WhatsApp. The steps differ slightly between Android and iOS, but both platforms allow simple photo-to-sticker conversion.
The Indian Opinion
Tech coverage of WhatsApp's sticker and status tools often spins them as revolutionary, but these are just modest in-app additions, no AI, no third-party apps required. The ready-made videos from ShareChat, Moj, and others risk being seen as lazy substitutes for personal messages. The real test: will users bother to customise stickers and Statuses, or will they default to the easiest option, flooding feeds with identical content? Watch how many actually use WhatsApp's own creation tools versus sharing generic videos.
