Stickers not working on iPhone 16 Pro

Hey everyone


I recently got myself iPhone 16 Pro and transferred my data from iPhone 12 pro. Everything work fine except Stickers. I can't see or add new stickers on my iPhone, however I have the "+" sign at the stickers box. Everything else in that Stickers box is blank white.


Any solutions?


Thanking you in advance

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Same! And I can’t even add new stickers. They just disappear.

iPhone 16 ProMax. I had the same problem: my stickers were not transferred from my iPhone Pro 14. I would try to create new stickers and they would disappear within a second.

1) I texted with Apple support and they told me they had no reports of this issue. Not true, because there are way too many people reporting this on multiple sites. But I digress. Apple support had me reset the Keyboard settings. This did not work. Next move was to reset Network Settings. That did not work.


In the mean time, I also found that my keyboard shortcuts for various cuss words were not transferred from my other iPhone. This also bugged me.


2) Tried a bunch of resets and other such futile tasks.


3) After 5 days of being annoyed because I love my stickers - say what you want about that - I read on a forum that the iPhone 16 promax was shipped with a preloaded version of iOS 18 and that is where the bug is. Per the site, I performed a full reset on my 16 promax. I restored my iPhone from the backup I performed just prior to the reset. 30 minutes later, stickers are working. My keyboard shortcuts and the words I so enjoy are also back. Sorry that is the only thing that worked.
