How to restore stickers in WhatsApp on Android - in detail?

Restoring stickers in WhatsApp on an Android device can be a straightforward process if you follow these detailed steps:

  1. Backup and Recovery: WhatsApp automatically creates backups of your data, including stickers, every day at 2 AM. To restore from this backup, first, uninstall and then reinstall WhatsApp from the Google Play Store. Once installed, open WhatsApp and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account using the same phone number associated with your backed-up data.
  2. Restoring Stickers: After setting up your account, you will be prompted to restore your chats and media from the backup. Make sure to allow this process to complete. Once restored, your stickers should also be available in the WhatsApp sticker gallery.
  3. Manual Backup and Restore: If you prefer to manually back up and restore your stickers, you can do so by following these steps:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to 'Settings' > 'Chats'.
    • Tap on 'Chat Backup' and follow the instructions to create a manual backup. This will include all your chats, media, and stickers.
    • To restore from this manual backup, uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp, then set up your account as mentioned earlier. When prompted, choose to restore from the manual backup you created.
  4. Sticker Packs: If you have lost specific sticker packs rather than all stickers, you can download them again from the WhatsApp Sticker Store:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to any chat.
    • Tap on the 'Emoji' icon (smiley face) at the bottom of the screen.
    • Select the 'Stickers' tab and then tap on the '+' icon to open the Sticker Store.
    • Browse or search for the sticker pack you want to download, then tap on it to add it to your collection.
  5. Third-Party Apps: If the above methods do not work, you can try using third-party apps designed to back up and restore WhatsApp data, including stickers. However, always ensure that you trust the source of these apps to avoid potential security risks.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully restore your lost stickers in WhatsApp on an Android device.
