The sticker program is near and dear to our hearts. For some time now, we’ve wanted to explore new ways to make stickers more fun and more shareable. Animated stickers are just the beginning.

As we open this door to a new, exciting future of stickers, it also means closing the door to our physical sticker program. We know that for many of you, this will be a bummer. But in time, we hope you’ll share our vision and excitement of things to come.

We can’t wait to show you some of the things we’re cooking up behind the scenes. Stay tuned — you ain’t seen nothing yet!

I guess they decided to take the 'glue' out of get glue.

Idiots. They are being bombarded on that page and facebook and have a bot that just doles out the same answer over and over:

We know that this is a hard pill to swallow. Nobody loved the sticker program more than we did, which is why this decision was so tough to make. There really are some incredibly things coming, and we can't wait for you to see them! The future is bright!

I didn't use the site/app but know many that did to get the stickers. Dumb move.

1. I've never heard of this app, but . . .

I have to say, it's kind of stupid to call an animated gif an "animated sticker" as if it's something new and exciting.

2. I think this was a big mistake on their part.

Not just that they stopped sending real stickers, but did so with no notice. It's a silly thing, but it wouldn't have killed them to at least let people get the stickers they'd unlocked before the change.
