Sticker suggestions trigger on typed keywords, using string-and-token matching—no deep context reading. They show inline above your keyboard in 1-to-1 or group chats, before you send. Nothing auto-sends; you tap to add. Text stays editable, suggestions vanish if you delete keywords, and they skip short partial words. No popups interrupt your typing flow.
Language & Localization
Detection is language-specific, varying by region with spotty slang support. Emojis boost matches, but mixed languages or misspellings hurt accuracy. Hinglish transliteration works for common terms only. Capitalization ignores case, but accents might trip it up in some tongues—no cross-language translation.
Sticker Sources
It pulls from official WhatsApp packs first. Installed third-party or your custom stickers join if indexed locally. Recent and frequent-use ones rank high; ignored ones drop over time. Animated stickers appear if they fit, but static ones load quickest. No ads, sponsorships, or paid boosts—everything caches locally post-use.
Ranking & Logic
Ranking weighs your personal frequency, not global popularity, overriding defaults. It scans only your current input, ignoring chat history, and caps at 3-5 options. Results update live as you type or delete, even for emoji-only messages. No reordering control, and it sticks to safe, generic stickers over risky ones.
Privacy & Performance
All analysis stays on-device—no server sends, no storage for analytics, and encryption holds. Works offline with cached stickers. Low battery drain, small memory use, but delays on weak phones. No toggle to kill just this; rollout is server-controlled.
Brutal Takeaway
Not AI magic—just keyword matching with personalization. Useful for quick replies, but no emotional smarts or context humor.
