A dedicated Stickers Store makes it easy to download new sticker packs for free. You can use them in the mobile app, as well as directly from WhatsApp’s web app. There are 12 default company-designed sticker packs to choose from at launch. That’s because sticker packs are being released in stages, meaning you should check back in a few days if stickers are currently unavailable to you in your copy of WhatsApp.
