Billions of stickers are sent every day on WhatsApp helping people share private thoughts and expressions without even typing a word. Since the company launched stickers 18 months ago, they have become one of the fastest growing ways people communicate on WhatsApp.
And now WhatsApp is working with The World Health Organization to launch the “Together at Home” sticker pack that will help people stay connected throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Stickers like these can be funny, educational and universal, breaking through language, age, and other barriers.
“We hope people enjoy using these stickers to check-in on loved ones, particularly those that are feeling isolated, alone, and scared,” says WhatsApp in a statement. “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.”
The “Together at Home” sticker pack is available now within WhatsApp, including with text localized for 9 languages; Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
