14 DAY TRIAL // Facebook has announced a new partnership with the World Health Organization whose purpose is to bring a new sticker pack to WhatsApp.
The Facebook-owned WhatsApp is one of the main messaging platforms that people use on mobile devices, and now that everyone is encouraged to stay home, the social network believes that a partnership with the WHO to remind people of the essential things is just the right thing to do.
So the new stickers come with designs like exercising and working from home, yoga, hearts, and so much more. The pack is called “Together at Home” and can be downloaded and installed right now from WhatsApp. It’s also available in several other languages besides English, including Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
“We hope people enjoy using these stickers to check-in on loved ones, particularly those that are feeling isolated, alone, and scared. This pack offers creative ways to remind people to wash their hands, maintain distance, exercise, and importantly to celebrate medical heroes as well as the personal heroes in all of our lives,” WhatsApp explains.
How to install the new sticker pack
Downloading and installing the new sticker pack in WhatsApp doesn’t take more than a few seconds.
What you need to do is launch WhatsApp on your phone, open a conversation, and then tap the sticker icon right next to the message box. You should then see a plus sign that allows you to install new sticker packs, and the new Together at Home should be at the top of the list.
WhatsApp says stickers have become particularly popular in the messaging client, so you’ll also discover several other packs in there. You can install as many as you want, and all their icons will then be displayed right in the sticker pack list that you can access with the icon next to the message box.
