Stickers not working on iPhone 16 Pro

The problem was fixed with iOS 18.3🥰

Try going. Settings > General > keyboard > scroll to bottom and toggle stickers off.

have you updated to 18.2 ?

Update 18.2 FINALLY fixed my stickers on iPhone 16 pro 😭

Don't start from the Photos App, start from the Message App.

See the pic below which is self-explanatory.

I chatted with the Support now. They are aware of the problem, but annoyingly, they suggested to do "Reset All Settings" again. I shall try that later.

back it up to the cloud. Erase all content and set it up again. 👍🏻

Just updated to 18.2 AND MY STICKERS ARE BACK!!!

Update to iOS 18.2 or back and erase iPhone. Then set back up. Don’t expect people to go looking for an answer for you either. 👍🏻

Works again with 18.3 for me 🥳

1. “Full reset” is “erase all content and settings”? - YES erase all content and settings
2. The backup up you used to restore is recent backup or did you have to go back to a backup from your old phone? NOPE - from the evening before on the new phone. Been working FLAWLESSLY ever since....

Go to settings > General > keyboard scroll down to the bottom. And make sure they are toggled on.

Updating or a fresh install resolves it.

Factory reset your phone and download your data again e.g thought iCloud worked for me. I don’t have empty circles & add and use my stickers ☺️

Okay, so "Reset All Settings" didn't resolve the issue for me, either. My chat was escalated to someone on the phone, but she couldn't help me by sharing the screen. I just got a case number. According to the person who I spoke with, Apple is aware of this issue on iPhone 16 and 16 Pro. It is annoying that Apple doesn't share the issue with the owners of iPhone 16 and 16 Pro. I hope the future iOS update evetually resolve this issue.
