As the stickers continue to roll out from the WhatsApp users there has been one complaint that there should have been an option for custom stickers. As per the guide issued by the messaging app, there has to be some coding knowledge required to develop a custom sticker pack app that can be installed by the user later. Howbeit, you can use a third party app to create custom stickers and then get in on your WhatsApp.
