WhatsApp stickers are a great way to jazz up your chats, adding plenty of color, quips, and cartoon faces. WhatsApp doesn’t have an incredible selection of emojis by default, but go a couple of taps further, and you can find a whole world of downloadable WhatsApp sticker packs to add hundreds of emojis and images to your sticker collection.
You can also look further afield for sticker packs, but there are many bad ones, with some even trying to rope you into subscriptions (don’t do it!). We’ve gathered the best WhatsApp sticker packs for you to safely use.
How to Get WhatsApp Sticker Packs
There are a few ways to get sticker packs for WhatsApp. One is to download sticker packs from within WhatsApp. Open a WhatsApp message, tap the emoji icon in the text box, and then tap the Sticker icon to view existing stickers.
Tap the + icon in the top-right corner of the sticker Browse through sticker packs that have been approved by WhatsApp, and download them to your collection by tapping the green download icon next to them.
The other method is to get third-party sticker pack apps from the Play Store. Browse through just about any kind of sticker pack you can imagine by searching for the sticker pack name, followed by “WhatsApp” in the Play Store.
Once you install sticker packs, you can rearrange them, delete them, or create your own sticker packs. Listed below are the best WhatsApp sticker packs from both the native WhatsApp collection and third-party apps.

1. Stickify: Stickers in WhatsApp
Stickify provides a platform for both creating and discovering a vast array of stickers, including those for emotions, memes, popular culture references, festivals, and more. You can also create custom stickers from your photos or images, making the conversations more personal and expressive.
Once you have downloaded the app, go to the homepage to view a wide range of sticker categories. Choose a category you like, and scroll down the list of stickers in that category. To add a sticker to WhatsApp, click on the Add button for it.
2. I <3 Emojis
I <3 Emojis is a native sticker pack offered by WhatsApp. It’s one of our favorite packs, as it’s based on emojis. Whether you want to express your feelings of love, sadness, joy, anger, or disgust, the pack has a sticker for it.
What makes this animated pack interesting and funny is that the emojis depict an extra element in addition to the main emotion. For instance, a fish can be seen swimming in the emoji’s tears.
3. Stickers and emoji – WASticker
If you prefer a simpler, yet expressive way to communicate, the Stickers and Emoji – WASticker pack could be what you’re looking for. This collection focuses on a wide range of emoji stickers and cartoon-based designs. You can find everything from classic emoticons in various expressions to adorable cartoon characters that can convey your feelings, reactions, and moods without words.
This sticker pack has two main sections: Stickers and Animations. The sticker section hosts a variety of options that can be added to WhatsApp by clicking on the + button. The animated section features animated stickers based on emojis and cartoons.
4. Egg and Chup
This Egg and Chup sticker pack is beautifully drawn, depicting a strange frowny-faced ballerina egg and what appears to be its tomato friend.
The animations are super-cute, and you’ll be sending this sticker pack out to friends, even if the actual stickers don’t directly depict any particular emotions (though they’re pretty charming for romantic couples).
Good to know: if you like watching videos with others, check out these apps to watch videos online with friends.
5. Betakkuma 2
Betakkuma is another awesome sticker pack with a Japanese-inspired hand-drawn style and is perfect for bear lovers. The popularity of the original Betakkuma sticker pack prompted the artist to create a sequel, and you’ll find all kinds of silliness here, like animated curtsies, claps, and flossing.
It’s super-weird, but this bear has some serious moves and is sure to impress anyone lucky enough to get sent one of these stickers.
6. Wemoji
Wemoji is not technically a sticker pack in itself (don’t worry, there are plenty in this list), but it’s probably one of the best tools when it comes to making your own bespoke WhatsApp stickers. One of the best features is the freehand cropping feature that lets you accurately cut out outlines of faces, people, and whatever else you would like to use in your sticker.
There are a whole bunch of other editing features here, too, including plenty of fonts for your emoji, and a convenient organizer for your custom emojis that lets you create different categories to organize them.
You don’t need to use photos, either, so if there’s a particular sticker, such as a character from a TV show, that you want to use, just take a screenshot, crop it using the app, and add it to your collection.
7. Sticker.ly
Sticker.ly is one of the best-rated sticker packs and contains a huge variety of WhatsApp stickers that thousands of users have uploaded. It’s easy to create and upload your own sticker packs using the integrated Auto Cut feature that detects outlines in your photos and trims them (with sometimes unintentionally funny results, such as a pack of strangely angular cat faces we came across).
There are funny stickers, romantic stickers, inspirational quotes for your WhatsApp Status page, memes, and much more. The amount of choice is spectacular, and the Prank sticker pack from this app deserves acclaim.
8. Friends Are Family
Friendships are important, and we all have friends who we consider our family. The Friends Are Family sticker pack includes a variety of expressive stickers that celebrate friendship, featuring heartwarming and fun images that users can share to show appreciation, love, and camaraderie among friends.
It is also one of the native WhatsApp native sticker packs. Whether it’s sending a virtual hug, celebrating a friend’s achievement, or sharing an inside joke, the Friends Are Family sticker pack serves as a tool to bridge the gap between text messaging and the emotional depth of in-person interactions.
9. Sticker Maker
The best WhatsApp sticker packs are the ones you create. You may have a picture of yourself with an expression you want to share in a conversation. With Sticker Maker, you can use any picture as a sticker on WhatsApp. You can use this app to create animated (GIF) stickers for WhatsApp, too.
You can create stickers with a square or oval shape with an image from your device’s gallery. However, you will need to produce at least three stickers and a sticker icon to add the sticker pack to WhatsApp. You can add as many as 30 stickers per pack. If you want to remove a sticker from a pack, just tap on the red minus dots.
10. Stickers Cloud & Sticker Maker
Stickers Cloud & Sticker Maker has great options. You can choose from sticker packs, such as Christmas, Animals, TV Shows, Memes, Video Games, Emojis, Celebrities, Soccer, and Phrases.
It also has an option to create your own WhatsApp stickers, but it will give them a square shape by default. To add a sticker pack, tap on the green See more button, followed by the download button to the right of each pack.
