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.

Same. I can go through the motions of long-pressing a photo and “add sticker”. I can also go to stickers and click the “+” to add a sticker but the stickers just sort of disappear after selecting them and can never be recalled. I’ve been having to pull out my iPhone SE to use stickers and the swap back over to my 16 pro… I use that feature all the time hope it’s fixed soon.

So the fix that worked for me after contacting Apple support was to “erase all content and settings”. Then, when setting up the phone, install from a previous backup. We tried a number of steps, but this was what finally resolved the issue for me. It only came about after several attempts without success that we decided to just factory reset and use a previous backup to pull back in all my customizations and settings from my initial setup of the phone. It appears that when activating and transferring from a previous phone to the iPhone 16, during the process, the stickers function “breaks”. So, if you want to give it a try, erase all content and settings and start fresh using a recent iCloud backup for your new phone.
