The chosen application is Stickers Maker for WhatsApp. Download it to your phone and accept the necessary permissions to access your photos. Once you have prepared it, open the application and click on the option "Create a new label". From the options that appear, choose "Add Image" and select an image from your gallery that you want to use.

With the image on the canvas, it's time to erase the background so that it's a real sticker. Choose the eraser option and select if you want to do it in "auto" mode (the application removes the areas you have selected for you) or in "manual" mode, with which you will erase small to little finger.

When he sticker is to your taste, click on the option "save" located at the bottom right and you will see that the sticker has been saved The application will ask you if you want to use the sticker In WhatsApp, accept and you can send it directly to your contacts, because the sticker can be found in the "Stickers" section, section with a sticker inside WhatsApp.
