Don’t see WhatsApp stickers on Android? Can’t see the stickers you receive on WhatsApp for Android? Here’s how to try to solve the problem
I don’t see WhatsApp Android sticker
In the past few days I came across an annoying problem with WhatsApp on Android.
In practice I could no longer see the stickers that my friends sent in chat, in any way. Instead of the stickers, a white arrow appeared, a sort of download symbol, which, though pressed, did not download anything and above all did not allow me to see the stickers.
Clicking on the arrow, a blank transparent space appeared instead of the sticker. And after closing and reopening WhatsApp the sticker download arrow appeared again.
In short, there was no way to see the stickers on WhatsApp.
So I worked a little, I got busy and tried to find a solution to this rather annoying problem. And now I’ll explain how to do it if you too encounter a problem like this.
WhatsApp does not load sticker: what to do?
If you too are experiencing this problem of not loading the WhatsApp stickers, here are all the tips I can give you to try to solve it:
- close WhatsApp from multitasking and try to reopen it. Usually this “trick” solves the problem, but not always
- switch from WiFi to data connection and vice versa. Sometimes the stickers are not loaded due to the slow connection
- make sure you are not roaming: the stickers are not downloaded when roaming. As a result, you can’t see them properly. Try connecting to a WiFi network in this case
- try restarting your smartphone: the classic “turn off and on” solution may work
- go to the Android Play Store and check for updates for WhatsApp: an update of WhatsApp could solve the problem
- try to download and install WhatsApp Beta for Android > WhatsApp Beta Android: How to Become a Beta Tester
If all these steps don’t work, I’m sorry but I have no other solutions for you.
If after trying them all you can’t solve this problem of WhatsApp stickers that are not loaded or displayed, the problem is related to the WhatsApp program.
This means that the developers, with a recent update, have introduced a bug that does not allow to show, view and upload the stickers.
In this case, therefore, the only thing you can do is wait for a new WhatsApp update to fix the bug. Within a few hours or a day at most the problem will be corrected by the developers: keep watching on the Play Store if a new update is released for the program and download it as soon as it is available.
