Happy Diwali 2019: WhatsApp Stickers, Facebook wishes and Diwali messages to send TODAY

The Festival of Lights is one of the most popular festivals in Hinduism. Diwali takes place every autumn in Ashwin, the seventh month of the Hindu lunisolar calendar. In addition to light’s victory over darkness, Diwali symbolises good defeating evil and knowledge’s success over ignorance. Express.co.uk explains how to harness WhatsApp and Facebook to spread the love this Diwali.

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is the world’s most popular chat platform, boasting 1.6 billion users around the world.

WhatsApp is particularly prevalent in India, where more than 400 million users access the app.

WhatsApp has in recent years added a cute and creative twist to traditional greetings with WhatsApp stickers.

Here is how users can download and send Diwali WhatsApp stickers to spread the love to family and friends.

Users will see the + sign on the right side to add the pack.

The added stickers will be visible in the recently added ones.

The downloading process for WhatsApp Stickers is slightly different for Apple iOS users.

iOS users will be presented with a significantly smaller selection of options.

And in addition, downloading third-party stickers is not as straightforward as on Android.

iPhone users should open a conversation, select the sticker icon at the bottom, tap on + sign, and download stickers from the available options.

However, those who want Diwali stickers will have to rely on their friends with an Android phone to send them first.

And it is only after they are received can these stickers be saved to their favourites.

Sending WhatsApp stickers is very simple on both Android and Apple iOS.

Open the WhatsApp chat window of the person or group users wish to send the sticker to.

Next, select the emoji face icon on the bottom left, beside the type message box.

Then tap the sticker icon and then browse for stickers.

Next select the Diwali WhatsApp sticker of choice and tap to send.
