WhatsApp continues to bring new features to its desktop app. Still related to the Sticker Maker feature, WhatsApp is now testing the Sticker Store feature for desktop applications.
This new feature was discovered by WABetaInfo in WhatsApp Desktop beta version 2.2147.9. WABetaInfo said this feature has begun to be rolled out gradually for users who have joined the WhatsApp beta program.
The Sticker Store feature on WhatsApp Desktop at first glance looks the same as in the mobile application. To access this sticker store, WhatsApp users simply open the sticker column and then click the plus icon on the right side of the screen.
The Sticker Store on WhatsApp Desktop also provides the same sticker collection as in the mobile application. The difference is that the sticker collection cannot be downloaded and users can only select specific stickers from the collection to send to chat, as quoted from WABetaInfo, Friday (12/3/2021).

In addition, WhatsApp also provides one additional feature. By clicking on the sticker received in the chat, the user can see
the sticker is part of what collection.
Currently WhatsApp Desktop users can actually search for stickers in the sticker store by entering keywords in the search bar. But with the Sticker Store feature, users will certainly find it easier to see existing collections or sticker packs.
This feature is already available for beta testers who have updated their WhatsApp Desktop application to the latest version. If you are already a beta tester but haven't found it yet, please be patient because this feature will be rolled out gradually.
Previously WhatsApp Desktop and Web also had the Sticker Maker feature. As the name implies, this feature allows users to create stickers directly from WhatsApp without the need for third-party applications.
