Twitter Goes Snapchat way, Introduces Stickers: Here is how to use it!

To make the platform even more interactive and to beat the competition, Twitter has now introduced a new feature that will allow users to add stickers to tweets.

What is Twitter Stickers?

Considering that most of the social media apps support emoji and stickers, the addition of Stickers feature on Twitter is a welcome move. The feature lets users post emoji on top of a photo. It will work similar to how Snapchat allows posting stickers and emoji on photos.

How it works?

To add stickers, you can edit a photo before uploading it on twitter. All you have to do is to pick and drop one or more stickers on the photo that you want to tweet before posting it. The good part is that the stickers can be resized, rotated, and can be placed anywhere on the photo.

Works like hashtag!

Twitter's stickers work the same way hashtags work on Twitter. If you click on a sticker on a particular post, you will be navigated to a timeline where other user's photos with same Sticker have been posted.

The Sticker feature on Twitter will remind you of Snapchat, which has similar sticker features that allow users to post stickers on photos or snaps, and let them see photos with same sticker at one place in Shared Stories.
