WhatsApp Stickers is a relatively new feature that is pushed by Facebook to their WhatsApp iOS and Android app. It allows users or admins to send stickers to anyone in a group or personal chat to express a wide range of emotions. However, the current count of stickers has been increased to 30 by WhatsApp. To make them work, the sticker publishers have to release their apps with the stickers on the Play and App stores.
