I can't make stickers on my iPhone 14 Pro

I’ve been having the same issue, tried these techniques but still, every time I create a live sticker, it appears for a second in the sticker drawer, but then it disappears, and it says I have no stickers again.

The entire problem is that when I long press, it highlights the subject, but only “copy” and “share” appear, no “add sticker”

My stickers are not working properly either. I used to be able to make stickers out of the photos in my library and save them. But now all I get it “stickers your create from photos will appear here.” Well when I try to save one there, it just disappears. They won’t save.

I've got the same on my 15 pro max aswell running the latest software .. it allows me to highlight the part of the image I want to create a sticker off and move it about the screen .. but I have no other options to choose from.

I'm having this same issue. I've been doing it just fine for quite some time, so I don't need someone to chime in with a tutorial.

We need a response and a fix from Apple...

I’m in the same boat with the others, except that can periodically create a sticker. I’ve tried different photo settings, different backgrounds, etc.

possible that maybe my screen protector is affecting the screen touch effects?

Is there an update on this? Stickers won’t save and disappear after about a second and can’t be added almost like i just won’t save. Fix this. iPhones are too expensive to be having issues like this

I have the same issue too, just tested it on my newly updated IOS 17.4 iPhone 15 Pro. I'm able to select a part of an photo I want to create a sticker from but when I select Add Sticker it appears in the sticker draw for a second then disappears. What is odd is that I am able to create stickers on my iPad Pro without issues. Stickers created on my iPad do not show up on my iPhone, the sticker draw there is always empty.

I opened a call with Apple in December who were initially very helpful, we tried several ways to fix the issue which included removing my VPN software and Microsoft Defender. The thought was that the issue was iCloud related and that these apps might be blocking the upload of the sticker. I also sent screen recordings that demonstrated the issue and uploaded many logs that Apple requested. I was told that they would get back to me but have heard nothing since late December 2023...

A response from Apple acknowledging this issue would be helpful.

Just an update: I still struggle with only select images, while most create stickers. It’s starting to seem like there may be internal restrictions on types of images that it will create them.

Also, per what others are reporting, there are two different issues going on in this thread: First is the inability to get it to create the outline to even create a sticker, and secondly, some appear to not be able to save them to a drawer (I’ve not experienced this).

We can all find the instructions for this. But that is not the problem. For many people in this chat the option “Add sticker” simply isn’t there when the central figure is highlighted - just save and share.

How can you tap an option which isn’t available?

I am sure all, like me, have made sure they have the latest version of iOS 17.

If anyone has instructions on how to get the missing option to appear they would be useful

Got the same problem on my Iphone 15 PM

Latest version of IOS (17.2.1)

No screen restrictions

Same issue with my iPhone 12- it looks like I’ve saved it, but it disappears about a second later.

Hi irregram,

Creating stickers from photos is a function of iOS 17 per Make stickers from your photos on iPhone. The process to do so is listed as:

"Turn a photo into a sticker

You can turn the main subject of a photo into a sticker.

1. Open the Photos app  on your iPhone.
2. Tap a photo to open it in full screen.
3. Touch and hold the subject, then tap Add Sticker.
4. The sticker appears in your sticker drawer, which you can access when you use the iPhone onscreen keyboard or Markup tools.
5. Tap Add Effect to apply a visual effect such as Outline, Comic, or Puffy.
6. Tap  to close the sticker menu."

Have you checked your sticker drawer for those that you've attempted to create? Are you running the latest version of iOS 17 for your device? If so and still not finding those, check Screen Time restrictions to ensure there are no features blocking this action and then contact Apple Support directly to investigate further.

Regards.

These are good instructions for making stickers. However, the problem is that many of us are not able to consistently create stickers from our photos. I am wondering if it might be a copyright concern built-in to the app? I seem to have a problem though with my ownphotography and artwork.

Still having this issue on my iPhone 12 Pro.
