After a user posts the photo along with relevant stickers on the site, the photo becomes searchable using hashtags. Subsequently, when you tap on a sticker in a Tweet, the user will be taken to a completely new timeline, which reveal how people around the globe use these stickers.
The new feature will be rolled out on both Android and iOS in the upcoming weeks, allowing you to find different kinds of images seamlessly with the help of searchable hashtags. #Stickers will also give users the option to edit photos, including filters, tags, cropping and accessibility options.
Though late, this might be the micro-blogging site’s attempt to match progressive image sharing apps such as Instagram and Snapchat.
