Facebook’s cartoon stickers add a whimsical touch to the company’s Messenger app, and now they’re coming to photos. The company announced today a new app called Stickered that lets you add stickers to your pictures, and then send it to a friend using Messenger. The app, which is available today on Android and on iOS “soon,” lets you add as many stickers as you want to pictures using either your front or rear camera. Or you can add stickers to a photo from your camera roll.
Today Facebook is releasing a new app called “Stickered” For Messenger that lets you pick a photo, resize and paste a Facebook Sticker on top, and send it to friends. “Stickers and photos are two of the most popular ways that people express themselves on Messenger. This is a fun experiment to see how people combine the two” the company tells me. Built by Facebook’s Creative Labs mobile design studio, it’s the first companion app for Messenger. Stickered For Messenger is now available on Android and is coming to iOS soon. It comes out alongside a big speed boost and new animated sending/sent/delivered/read receipts on Messenger. Facebook is also dabbling with Snapchat-style frames you can overlay on your photos. On New Year’s Eve, the selfie camera in Messenger will let you add a New Year’s-themed frame over your photo, similar to what you might get out of a physical photo booth machine.
