<p>Starting today, artists can submit their custom sticker sets via the Telegram <ahref="https://telegram.me/stickers">@stickers</a> bot. Each sticker set gets a <strong>permanent link</strong>, so that users can easily add new stickers and share them with friends.</p>
<p>This enables artists of the world to unleash their creativity and help Telegram users customize their experience. Our in-house artist (responsible for the graphic art in this blog) created the <strong>Animals</strong> set as an example. If you have Telegram installed and updated, this link will open the set: <ahref="https://telegram.me/addstickers/Animals"><ahref="https://telegram.me/addstickers/Animals">https://telegram.me/addstickers/Animals</a></a>. </p>

<p>Independent designers already began submitting their sticker sets, and we notice stickers like <ahref="https://telegram.me/addstickers/Flags">Flags of the World</a> or <ahref="https://telegram.me/addstickers/Vicky">Vicky</a> uploaded to the <ahref="https://telegram.me/stickers">@stickers</a> bot.</p>
<p>Sending a link isn‘t the only way to share a sticker set. When you receive a sticker from a set you do not currently have installed, simply tap on it and choose ’Add to Stickers‘ (’Info' on iOS) to preview and add the whole set.</p>

<p>Once you've added a set, its stickers become available via <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/stickers">emoji tooltips</a> or the dedicated sticker panel. The iOS app now has one too — you can manually switch it on/off in Chat Settings — Stickers.</p>
<p>The new <strong>Stickers</strong> menu allows you to view, uninstall and share your sticker sets.</p>
