How to Get More Emoji and Sticker Packs in GB WhatsApp
Emoji and stickers make chats more fun and expressive. GB WhatsApp builds on WhatsApp’s sticker store with extra emoji styles and easier ways to add new packs. This guide covers changing your emoji style, finding sticker packs, creating your own, and fixing common problems.
Change Your Emoji Style
GB WhatsApp lets you switch emoji designs in many builds:
- Open GB Settings.
- Go to Universal, then Styles, or look for Emoji variant.
- Choose a style, such as Android, iOS-style or other designs.
- Restart the app.
Your contacts see emoji in their own phone’s style, not yours.
Add Sticker Packs From the Built-in Store
- Open any chat.
- Tap the emoji icon, then the sticker tab.
- Tap the plus icon to open the sticker store.
- Browse packs and tap Download.
New packs appear in your sticker tab.
Add Third-Party Sticker Packs
Many sticker apps on the Play Store let you add packs to WhatsApp:
- Install a sticker app from the Google Play Store.
- Open a pack and tap Add to WhatsApp.
- Choose GB WhatsApp if asked.
Not all sticker apps detect GB WhatsApp. If the button doesn’t work, try saving stickers you receive in chats instead.
Save Stickers From Chats
When someone sends a sticker you like:
- Tap the sticker.
- Tap Add to favorites or View pack.
- Add the pack if available.
Create Your Own Stickers
WhatsApp includes a sticker maker in many versions:
- Open the sticker tab.
- Tap Create or the scissors icon.
- Pick a photo from your gallery.
- Cut out the subject, add text or drawings.
- Tap Send or Save.
You can also make stickers with dedicated sticker maker apps from the Play Store.
Animated Stickers
Animated stickers work in GB WhatsApp just like official WhatsApp. Download animated packs from the sticker store or compatible apps. Keep in mind they use more data.

Popular Sticker Pack Styles
| Style | Best for |
|---|---|
| Cute animals | Friendly chats and family groups |
| Reaction memes | Funny replies between friends |
| Text stickers | Quick replies like “On my way” or “Thank you” |
| Festival and greeting packs | Eid, birthdays and other celebrations |
| Animated characters | Expressive reactions in casual chats |

Festival packs are especially popular around holidays, so download a few before the day to send greetings quickly.
Organize Your Sticker Tray
A crowded tray makes it hard to find the sticker you want. Keep it tidy:
- Open the sticker tab and tap the plus or settings icon.
- Open My stickers.
- Drag packs to reorder them, putting your favorites first.
- Delete packs you no longer use.
Use the star or heart option to add individual stickers to Favorites for one-tap access.
Make Text Stickers for Quick Replies
Text stickers like “Busy, call later” or “Reached home” save typing. Create them with a sticker maker app by adding text to a plain background, then add them to WhatsApp. Keep a small pack of your most-used replies at the top of your tray.
Emoji Reactions
Long-press any message to react with an emoji instead of sending a new message. Tap the plus icon to choose any emoji, not just the defaults. In busy groups, reactions keep the chat clean while still showing you’ve seen and responded.
Back Up Your Stickers
Sticker packs from the store can be downloaded again, but stickers you saved from chats or made yourself live in your GBWhatsApp folder. Include them when you copy your backup folder. See our backup and restore guide.
Safety With Sticker Apps
Some sticker apps on the Play Store show heavy ads or ask for unnecessary permissions. Choose apps with good reviews, and avoid any that ask for contacts, SMS or accessibility access. A sticker app only needs access to images.
Stickers Across Devices
Stickers you add in GB WhatsApp stay on that phone. If you use a second account or another device, add your favorite packs there too. Saving the sticker files in your GBWhatsApp folder backup means you can restore them after moving phones. See how to transfer GB WhatsApp to a new phone.
Keep Stickers Appropriate
Stickers are fun, but some packs include jokes that don’t suit every chat. Keep separate favorites for family, work and friends, so you don’t send the wrong sticker to the wrong group.
Conclusion
GB WhatsApp gives you more ways to express yourself with emoji and stickers: switch emoji styles, download packs, save stickers from chats and create your own. If a sticker app doesn’t recognize GB WhatsApp, save stickers from chats instead. Keep your favorites organized and your packs backed up.
