How to Add Stickers to iPhone Messages
Stickers for iMessage take less than a minute to set up. Here is the quick path.
How do I add stickers to iPhone Messages? Open a chat in Messages and tap the plus icon next to the text box. Choose Stickers, pick one, and tap it to send. Menu names shift a little between iOS versions, so check Apple’s guide to sending stickers if your screen looks different.
Can I stick a sticker on a message bubble? Yes. Touch and hold a sticker, then drag it onto a message bubble or a photo. You can send it alone or stick it on top of a message as a quick reaction.
Can I resize or layer stickers? Yes. Pinch to resize and twist to rotate. You can also stack stickers for a sticker-bomb effect in a group chat.
Where do I find more sticker packs? Open the App Store from the sticker drawer to browse iMessage sticker packs. Many are free, and some cost a small fee.
You can also make your own. Touch and hold the subject of a photo to lift it, then choose Add Sticker. Apple explains this in its guide to making stickers from your photos. You can also build custom emoji with Genmoji on supported devices.
Too much clutter in the app drawer? You can reorder or hide apps you never use, so the sticker row stays clean. Stickers also work in Messages on iPad and Mac.
