Republic Day is one of the most widely celebrated national occasions in India, and digital greetings have become a common way to share wishes. For Republic Day 2026, users can go beyond standard forwards by creating customised stickers and greetings using AI tools available on WhatsApp and other popular apps. These tools allow users to generate visuals based on simple text descriptions, making personalised content accessible without design skills.
How to create custom WhatsApp stickers using AI
WhatsApp now allows users to generate AI-powered stickers directly within the app using Meta AI. The process works on both individual and group chats.
Open WhatsApp and go to any chat where you want to send a sticker.
Tap the emoji icon in the message bar and switch to the Stickers section.
Select the “Create” option below the search bar and choose “Generate with AI.”
Enter a prompt such as “Republic Day 2026 sticker with Indian flag and Ashoka Chakra” or “26 January patriotic sticker in tricolour theme.”
WhatsApp will generate multiple sticker options based on the prompt.
Tap on a sticker to send it. The sticker will also be saved in Recent stickers.
Users can experiment with prompts featuring national symbols, children saluting, Ashoka Chakra designs, or text-based Republic Day messages.
How to create AI greetings and images
Apart from stickers, AI-generated images can be used as greetings and shared directly on WhatsApp.
Open Meta AI chat within WhatsApp.
Type a prompt such as “Republic Day 2026 greeting card with tricolour background and minimal text.”
Review the generated image and save it to your phone.
Share the image as a photo message or status update.
These images can also be shared across other platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
Alternative apps for custom Republic Day content
Users who do not want to use Meta AI can rely on third-party apps. Sticker.ly offers background removal and sticker packs, Picsart allows image editing with text and filters, and Stickify includes a sticker studio for photos, videos and GIFs. These apps support exporting stickers directly to WhatsApp.
