Instant messaging has got a bit more engaging with a new breed of emoticons called Stickers. Instant messengers on mobile platforms now offer Stickers as large screen emoticons to share with contacts. Large emoticons arrive because smartphone displays are getting larger and thus offer enough real estate to enjoy bigger emoticons. Stickers, unlike regular emoticons or emoji, are offered in free and paid packages.
Instant Messenger users from the last decade might recollect Yahoo! Audibles in Yahoo! Messenger - large animated emoticons with voice notes. Those audibles focussed on the audio part of the messenger with an animated character look. A similar approach has been taken with the extra-large emoticons: Stickers.
Stickers for mobile instant messengers have suddenly become an additional feature and thus there are select IM apps that support it. Here is a list of most popular and widely use instant messaging apps that offer Stickers.
Line
Line app is one of the most popular instant messengers that also supports desktop. Line app offers features like registration using mobile phone number, linking the phonebook with social network accounts, and other instant messaging features. Line has thousands of Stickers featuring several mascot characters and the ones designed by/for (even Indian) celebrities. Loaded with Stickers, you can have fun with them instead of typing long text messages. Line releases new free sticker packs every Tuesday. Free voice calls between Line users along with voice chat are the existing features that remain common with other IM apps too. Line also offers several connected camera, game and other tools to be used with the Line app.
