How to transfer TikTok stickers to WhatsApp on iPhone

Before you start

• An iPhone with ZipZap and WhatsApp installed.
• A TikTok account that can send direct messages to @zipzapstickers.
• An internet connection while you link your account and collect stickers.
• At least three stickers to make a WhatsApp pack.

ZipZap is free to download and try, with transfer limits. Check the app for current limits and optional Pro subscription prices. This walkthrough is for iPhone; ZipZap’s iPhone flow does not apply to Android.

How to transfer TikTok stickers to WhatsApp

1. Open Grabs and copy your code

   Open ZipZap and choose the Grabs tab. Tap the code shown there to copy it. Use your own code from the app: it tells ZipZap which TikTok conversation belongs to your sticker collection.

   You don’t need to create an email-and-password account in ZipZap. Sending the code links the TikTok account you use for that message.

2. Send the code to @zipzapstickers on TikTok

   Open TikTok, find @zipzapstickers, and follow the account. Open a direct message, paste the code, and send it.

   Send the code as a message in that conversation. Posting it in a video comment won’t link your Grabs. If you use more than one TikTok account, make sure you keep using the account that sent the code.

3. Wait for the message request to be accepted

   Wait for acceptance before sending your stickers. A new conversation may initially let you send only a limited message request. If you’ve sent your code but can’t send more messages yet, this is the step to check first.

   Back in Grabs, ZipZap shows whether your TikTok account is linked or it is still waiting for your code.

4. Send the stickers you want in the same chat

   After the message is accepted, send your favorite stickers to @zipzapstickers. Send the stickers themselves, rather than screenshots of them or links to TikTok videos.

   Choose enough reactions for a pack. For example, send a happy sticker, a laughing sticker, and a surprised sticker. You can leave out reactions later when you select your pack.

5. Return to Grabs and select your pack

   Open Grabs again. Stickers usually appear a few minutes after you send them; they may not arrive immediately. Pull down to refresh if you want to check again.

   Select between 3 and 30 stickers. Leave out any you don’t want. If you have more than 30, make smaller packs from your collection instead of trying to export them all in one pack.

6. Tap Add to WhatsApp and confirm

   Tap Add to WhatsApp in ZipZap. When WhatsApp opens, follow its prompt to add the pack. Then open a conversation in WhatsApp and look for the new pack in the sticker picker.

   Your collection is ready to use as stickers in chat. To return to a saved pack later, open Stash in ZipZap.

Can you use your saved TikTok stickers on WhatsApp?

Yes. ZipZap can’t read your TikTok favorites on its own, but any sticker you can send in a TikTok chat can make the trip, including the ones you’ve saved.

1. Open your chat with @zipzapstickers in TikTok.
2. Tap the sticker button next to the message box and find the stickers you’ve saved.
3. Tap each one you want to send. Every sticker you send shows up in Grabs.

Send a handful at a time, then build a pack of 3 to 30 in ZipZap. Come back and send more whenever you want another pack.

Can you move animated TikTok stickers too?

Yes. ZipZap supports animated TikTok sticker imports and prepares the pack for WhatsApp. Use the same process: send the moving sticker in the TikTok conversation, collect it in Grabs, and export your pack.

A screenshot only captures one frame. If you want the movement, send the animated sticker itself. A TikTok video link is different from an animated sticker and is not an input for this transfer flow.

TikTok stickers not transferring? Check the step where it stopped

If you’re still stuck, contact ZipZap support with the step you reached and the error shown. That makes it easier to distinguish a TikTok messaging problem from a pack export problem.

Common questions

Is there an app to transfer TikTok stickers to WhatsApp?

Yes. ZipZap is a free iPhone app made for this. Because TikTok and WhatsApp don’t connect directly, ZipZap collects the stickers you send in a TikTok chat and turns them into a WhatsApp sticker pack, animated stickers included. ZipZap is not affiliated with TikTok or WhatsApp.

Can I do it without an app?

Only the hard way: screenshot each sticker, crop it, and rebuild it with a sticker maker. That loses the animation and some quality. Sending the original sticker through ZipZap keeps both, with no cropping.

Do I need a TikTok sticker downloader or converter?

No. You don’t have to download stickers to your phone or convert any files. Send the sticker in your TikTok chat with @zipzapstickers and ZipZap converts it to the WhatsApp sticker format for you, animated stickers included.

Does this move all my TikTok favorites automatically?

Not automatically. Send the saved stickers you want in your chat with @zipzapstickers (see how) and they’ll arrive in Grabs. Start with the reactions you want in your first pack, then send more for the next one.

Do I need to crop every sticker?

No screenshotting or manual cropping is needed for this method. Send the original sticker in TikTok, then select it in Grabs. ZipZap prepares the stickers for the WhatsApp export.

How long does it take?

There are two waits: acceptance of your first message request, and collection of the stickers you send afterward. Stickers usually appear within a few minutes after sending, but the complete process is not guaranteed to finish in a fixed time.

Can I use this guide on Android?

This guide uses ZipZap for iPhone. You’ll need a method or app available on Android if that’s the phone you use.

Can I make my own stickers instead?

Yes. For a different kind of personal reaction, ZipZap’s animated pet sticker maker creates moving stickers from a photo of your pet. That’s separate from importing stickers through Grabs.
