iMessage Stickers

When trying to add stickers in iMessage, I press, hold, and release into the message. But it’s really hard to get them to stick? They disappear after letting go like 80% of the time… where are the stickers supposed to go? Are there only certain places they can stick? Seems silly that you can put stickers but not really… takes away from the user experience with it being so complicated.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

There’s a plus sign on side of your message- on the left. This is your drawer where all your stickers and extra stuff is stored. You can rearrange, delete, add- whatever. Some apps come with stickers automatically- like adobe, Dunkin’, dominoes, Authenticator even emoji. Some are really stupid and annoying- delete the ones you don’t want because they’ll probably take first place- but you have to delete the app too! Rearrange as desired. Some stickers are IOS exclusive- so if your friend has an android they won’t see them. I found that out by constantly asking a few ppl why they weren’t laughing hysterically at my texts. Also, if you use dark mode and your sticker is black- not gonna show up. Before you download a sticker app make sure everyone will see it no matter what phone. Bye!
