To export stickers I need to download them to the device, which means the more I download the more I use storage in my device.
So I am planning to add storage management that users can delete downloaded stickers.
My concern is that 'WhatsApp can use stickers event after I deleted them in my app?'

I made an experiment that I exported stickers to WhatsApp and I uninstalled my app.
I can use stickers in WhatsApp without my app and I understood WhatsApp stored stickers separately without my app.

BUT, How long does WhatsApp keep stickers after those are deleted from 3rd party app?
If WhatsApp keeps them only for several days as cache, I must not let users delete stickers.

Thanks.
