You might have received plenty of WhatsApp stickers as Diwali greetings last week. There are tonnes of third-party sticker packs that have recently emerged on Google Play and tens of official stickers come preloaded. But since searching for new stickers on WhatsApp isn't as easy as searching a sticker on its competing apps, the Facebook-owned company is now reportedly working on a search feature to make it easier to share relevant stickers with your s. The feature is said to currently be in the pipeline for Android devices. However, it could also head to the WhatsApp for iPhone version over time.

WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo has reported that WhatsApp is working on a stickers search feature for Android devices. The tracker has also provided a couple of screenshots to show how the search feature will be available on the app. This is likely to be similar to the functionality that is already available to search for different emoji characters and GIFs. Moreover, the leaked screenshots show that there will be a lens at the bottom-left corner of the stickers that will open the search bar upon a single tap.
