The festival of Janmashtami will be celebrated on September 4, 2026. As we celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, WhatsApp users can wish each other by creating customised stickers using their own photos to make their wishes more personalised. Instead of depending on the same ready-to-use stickers packs, here is how you can turn your favourite Krishna picture into a sticker directly without going to any other AI apps like Gemini and ChatGPT, whether a little Kanha dancing over Kalia snake or the king of Dwarika imparting wisdom, here is what more you can try.
The feature to create stickers on WhatsApp can help you to choose a picture from your device, personalised wishes, custom emojis and then you can save it as a sticker to share with your loved ones. This process is available for iOS and Android devices, here the steps for both.
