Using Fiddler to Add Expired QQ Stickers

Translated from Simplified Chinese by AI.Read the original

Cute stickers often show up in group chats. When you tap in and get ready to add one, there’s a very good chance you’ll run into “sticker expired,” like the title image..

But in fact, these stickers still exist in QQ. QQ just restricts you from adding them in some mysterious way.

Steps

By capturing packets with Fiddler, I found that every sticker has an ID:

Then add a normal, non-expired sticker, and you can capture a request like this:

qq-add-expired-2.png

bq_add—the name is so self-explanatory..

So the steps are:

  • Capture the itemId of the expired sticker
  • Add a non-expired sticker on mobile QQ, intercept the request above with Fiddler, and change itemId to the expired sticker’s itemId
  • Clear mobile QQ data, then open it again, and the expired sticker will be added to your QQ (￣︶￣)↗
