Texting without emojis is like eating donuts without icing! Bland and boring!
Given how profusely people have been using emojis to add meaning and fun to their texts, WhatsApp launched the stickers features which took messaging to the next level.
Several sticker packs have been introduced ever since, and WhatsApp users are in a rat race with each other to see who has the best collection.
Everything is fun and games until the time comes to change your phone!
This means making a backup of your conversations, contacts, media, and of course, back up stickers in WhatsApp.
Because you certainly don't want to lose the collection you so carefully and selectively created!
Part 1. Do Stickers Get Backed Up in WhatsApp?
Yes, it does!
There is a built-in function in WhatsApp that you can back up all data including stickers, chats and contacts. You can back them up locally or on Google Drive for Android, iCloud for iPhone. All the WhatsApp stickers are default stored in .webp format in "storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/media/Whatsapp Stickers/" from where you can backup these WhatsApp stickers.
Part 2. How to Backup Stickers on WhatsApp?
There are 4 ways to backup WhatsApp stickers. Let's go over the steps of each way individually.
