For this reason, you can add to YoWhatsApp and then send from the demo account to your main WhatsApp account for use.
That being said, let’s make our custom animated stickers as soon as possible.
- Launch the Animated Sticker Maker App and click on a new sticker pack

That’s all.

Lastly, after adding the sticker to your WhatsApp, go to any chat and navigate to the sticker menu from the emoji icon.
