## What it is
Official WhatsApp repository providing sample iOS and Android apps plus an API for packaging and importing third-party sticker packs into WhatsApp. It serves as a reference implementation and SDK for developers building sticker apps for distribution via app stores.

## Use cases
- create sticker packs for whatsapp

## When to choose
- you want to build an Android app that adds sticker packs to WhatsApp
- you need the official API contract and sample code for WhatsApp sticker integration

- you need stickers for platforms other than WhatsApp
