Sticker are fun and can convey nuances and intended personality emojis don't in the same bandwidth. Also always just two taps away in the same place, as opposed to gifs. Depending on your communication style, this may or may not be a feature for you.
I have also seen stickers as a hurdle for Signal adoption for years.
AFAIK, LINE was the first IM platform to make sticker-use widespread. Imagine you're about to meet up with a friend downtown for a Sunday brunch and the different situations and moods you can encounter on the way, check out their initial starter pack and I think you can see how this can actually make communication more efficient.

- feanaro 7y agoSo a kind of middle ground between emojis and gifs? That makes sense. I'll admit I still don't find it appealing from any examples I've seen so far and I've never encountered sticker usage "in the wild" with my contacts to get a hands-on feeling of it.
- Legogris 7y agoYeah, I first encountered them living in East Asia where the majority use them consistently (including foreigners who generally pick it up pretty fast). I'd probably have your stance if I hadn't experienced it IRL.
