Are stickers the new Emojis? Every app seem to have a slightly different implementation and they don't really interoperate well.
Can this tool be used for WhatsApp stickers? And how different are Slack and Discord Stickers?
I wonder if we'll see some standardization in the future akin to the addition of emojis to Unicode.
- okdjnfweonfe 5y agostickers are the half-way point between images and emoji, as in, bigger emoji, usually sent without a message. Some platforms upgrade emoji to stickers when used solo (telegram for example) there isn't anything majorly special about them on any platform AFAIK

- dudus 5y agoSo it's basically a XML file that defines sticker packs and stickers as png files. No notes on size constraints, image formats, installation, distribution, sharing across apps. Seems like an early stage standard.
- blengert 5y agoIn case you are interested in adding WhatsApp sticker support, here is the link to the client side code for iOS: https://github.com/WhatsApp/stickers/blob/main/iOS/README.md https://github.com/WhatsApp/stickers/blob/main/iOS/README.md
- mafriese 5y agoI think the problem with emojis is that everyone has the same options to pick from - if you have stickers you can express yourself in a way that fits more your own style(?)
