WhatsApp will now let you create your own sticker pack! Similar to the avatars feature on Facebook, WhatsApp now adds the ability to create a cartoonish version of yourself and generate sticker pack. The feature is similar to the avatar version of Facebook, and users should be able to create their own stickers, similar to Animojis on iOS. The only difference is that these will not be animated.
