The Meta (Formerly known as Facebook) owned WhatsApp has also allowed third party apps to build stickers for its platform. People on a daily basis download different kinds of stickers for good yet effective communication. The development was shared by WhatsApp features tracker WABetaInfo. It said that Android beta version 2.21.24.11 has brought the dedicated shortcut to allow users to quickly forward stickers. The update has appeared for some beta testers on earlier versions, as per the trusted media sources.

Where will we find this feature?

The shortcut (forward) feature will be seen next to the sticker option. It will allow users to share the stickers instantly with others on their WhatsApp contact list.

How to use

You simply need to tap on the shortcut and then select the contact you want to share the sticker with. The process will help cut down the normal process, which is comparatively time consuming, where the user taps on the sticker first, holds and then hits the forward option from the top bar. The app already has a forward shortcut option for images that works the same way. It helps users quickly share pictures with contacts.
