Stickers not working on iPhone 16 Pro

Told apple 2 days after the 16 pro max came out about the stickers issue and advised they were aware also told them I’m not jumping through hoops of resetting and erasing my phone for something they need to have their devs fix. So many software issues like Apple Watch not showing up on “find my” but I paired again to fix

I just spoke with Apple support and he said that engineering has enough tickets for this complaint now that it will likely be fixed in one of the next updates.

Finally fixed in iOS 18.2! Maybe it took AI to be introduced to fix it!!!!!

The newest update fixed mine but now my texts freeze😂

Finally working with the latest update on 16 pro max

the new update just fixed this for me!

All the information is in this thread. You will have iOS 18 by default on a iPhone 16. Try reading through. Also update the latest version.

Same issue here I believe it’s happening when you migrating to new phone and restoring from backup. I moved from 14 pro max to 16 pro and stickers disappear. Same happened to my wife when she moved from SE to 14 pro max.

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.

Every single one of us has to submit a ticket with Apple. They don’t believe me when I say “everyone has this issue, just look on Google”. Each of us has to call and complain. Please everyone! Force their hand

I transferred 14 pro max to 16 pro. While use 14 pro max, can make sticker at keyboard of message, messenger, viber ... etc... But, while changed to 16 pro, Sticker can't make and appear on Sticker and some of emoji is not appear at keyboard. But, My Sis use 15, it can be made stickers and all of emoji are normal. Although I contacted to Apple support, it can't be fixed.

IOS 18.2 and working

Finally working after the update!! So good I didn’t need to restore the phone to fix it.

My phone updated last night to 18.3 and my stickers are working along with all those I tried during the downtime that appeared not to store. They’re all here!

It still does not work. After adding a sticker (1-2 seconds) the stickers disappear. I can remove them (after clicking a few times I can see the dust animation) and I can see the empty sticker space. I use iPhone 16 with iOS 18
