WhatsApp developing new feature to edit sticker photos for status updates

WhatsApp is working on an exciting new feature for its users to edit sticker photos for status updates, and it is set to be released in a future update.

According to WABetaInfo, the new feature is still under development as the popular Meta-owned instant-messaging app actively refining it before its official release to beta testers.

The upcoming feature will enable users to modify the shape of sticker photos before applying them to a status update by selecting from a predefined set of shapes.

These shapes include two rectangular options (landscape and portrait), a square, a circle, a heart, and a star, for a more personalised user experience when applying sticker photos to status updates. 

The rectangular and square shapes are useful for creating a collage-like effect, enabling users to arrange multiple images in an organised way within a single status update, making it easier to share a series of related images.

Additionally, the circular, heart, and star shapes are designed for decorative purposes rather than purely functional ones, allowing users to add a more artistic and visually appealing touch to their sticker photos. 

For example, users might choose the heart shape to highlight a romantic moment or the star shape to make a particular image stand out. The circular shape could be useful for profile-like cutouts or drawing attention to a specific part of an image. 

Users can adapt their sticker photos to suit various themes, moods, and storytelling styles in the future with the help of these different shapes.
