Moreover, the process to create and import an animated sticker pack is mostly the same as it was with static stickers.

To use the feature, users just need to download the app to create a sticker pack by picking a video or GIF from the camera roll after which the app will automatically convert it to a webpage file that can be imported into WhatsApp.
