Hi! I checked out the new update and wanted to try out the sticker feature for messages. However, when I try to long press on a photo in full screen on the photo app, nothing happens. Also, when I go into messages, there is no stickers tab after you tap the stickers feature, so I can’t create any there either. My iPad is fully updated to IOS 17, so I’m not sure what the problem is. (Everything else in the update seems to be working ok at the moment.)
Creation of stickers from photos is reliant upon functionality for lifting a subject from the background of a photo - this relatively new feature being available to a limited range of iPad models.
iPad models that support Live Text, Visual Look Up, and lifting a subject from the background are:
As such, while many more models of iPad support iPadOS17, creation of stickers from photos and screenshots is not necessarily available.

This is the problem, thank you!
My iPad is a 6th generation standard.

Long pressing "the photo" is not sufficient to create a sticker.
You must long press the subject.

From the iPad User Guide:
To elaborate, when I tap on the stickers option in messages, (it is there), the plus option is not listed in any of the tabs, so I can only send stickers from GarageBand, Memoji Stickers, and with emojis. Occasionally, I will see the sticker tab after I have tapped the option, but it disappears the moment I see it.
I understand this, I long pressed the subject. That is what I meant to say.
You're very welcome. I'm sorry it wasn't the news that you were hoping to learn.
Have iPad Air 13 inch. Have iOS 17.5.0 Do not have the pencil option. How do I take a current sticker and insert it into an existing photo in photos ? Unable to get anything to work.
