WhatsApp is set to end support for a few Android and iOS smartphones starting October 24. As per the official website of the Meta-owned platform, WhatsApp will stop supporting Android smartphones running Android OS 5.0 or below. This is something that the platform keeps doing from time to time as it keeps updating the features and interface. This results in the end of support for older devices.

If your smartphone is running on these older software versions, it is better to update your device now.

The reason why WhatsApp needs to do this over and over again is due to its new features and safety options. One such feature is the customised sticker feature. WhatsApp will now allow users to make their own customised stickers in the app with the help of artificial intelligence. To create stickers of your own, you need to follow these steps: 

  1. Open the WhatsApp chat of the said contact and tap on smiley and the go to stickers option. 
  2. Now tap on “Create” and then “Continue”.
  3. Give a description of the sticker you want to create in English language
  4. The app will generate four stickers accordingly
  5. You can choose the one you like or tweak the description to get different options
  6. Once done, just tap on “share” and you are good to go.
