WhatsApp and the World Health Organization (WHO) have launched a package of “stickers” that will help people to be connected during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and that, among others, includes options to remind people to wash their hands or to pay tribute to the toilets.
This set of “Together at Home” stickers It is already available on WhatsApp and includes some texts translated in nine languages (Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish).
Thus, in some of these drawings you can read phrases like “we’ll get through this together”; “give me five from afar” (two people trying to clash hands); “you’re good?”; “you’re my hero”; or at home”.
“Every day millions of stickers are sent on WhatsApp, helping people to share their thoughts without having to write a single word”, indicates the company in a communication.
She remembers that since they presented this option more than a year ago, stickers have become one of the fastest growing forms of communication on this platform.
WhatsApp, who claims to be delighted to work with the WHO to present this package of “stickers”, points out that these can be a “fun, educational and universal tool that overcomes barriers such as language or age, among others.”
“We hope that people will use these stickers to keep in touch with their loved ones, especially those who feel isolated, alone and afraid”.
This new bundle offers creative ways to remind people to wash their hands, keep their distance, or exercise, while allowing users to honor the health heroes and individual heroes everyone has in their lives.
