WhatsApp Emojis vs WhatsApp Stickers

The emoji has for the longest been a simple visual way of expressing one’s emotion on WhatsApp.

There are times when you may not find the perfect emoji to communicate what you feel in response to what someone said or to give a perfect expression of your current state.

To add to this is the limited number of emojis even with the recent inclusion of new emojis in the upgraded version of WhatsApp.

This is where the introduction of stickers on WhatsApp has come in handy.

The vastness of stickers and the fact that you can easily expand the number of stickers you have by downloading stickers that you find cool makes it easy to have a large number of stickers to perfectly communicate your thoughts.

Stickers are a cool informal way of relating with friends and acquaintances; it has a way of making conversations that could otherwise be formal and edgy feel more relaxed.

However, as with any other tool on WhatsApp, you may not feel comfortable with a group of stickers that you mistakenly downloaded or you made.
