Stickers not working on iPhone 16 Pro

I was a little annoyed to have to erase all content as well but very happy when it worked and all the stickers came back from my previous phone along with all the settings. I hope more people will read this post and follow those directions.

Yes, erase all content and settings. It’s painful, I know. But now I have stickers and my favorite keyboard shortcuts are back!! Totally worth the time to fix the problem. Would have been nice if Apple had fixed the bug in the update, but since the tech I was texting with in support said that they have had no reports of this issue, I suppose I should be grateful to just have this working again and not expect so much.

this update didn't solve the sticker problems for me either. Even when I add the same image twice, the whole image stays between the stickers, but I don't need to use it and it gets burned on my screen. whatever i do i see through the sticker

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.

Same!!! Stickers don’t work! Also, my phone won’t connect to my car properly. Apple CarPlay doesn’t work. Worked fine with my iPhone 12 but ever since I got the 16, nothing but problems. I’m ready to turn it in

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

Makes me wonder why it doesn’t work also in my old iPhone 15 promax that my daughter is using, if the bug is only with the iPhone 16 promax.

I hope Apple can make an update to fix this. I just updated to iOS 18.1.1. Same problem - can’t create stickers. It disappears immediately.

Full reset fixed it for me.

Finally, got the create stickers to work! But it’s a lot of work, I had to reset the phone! Had to do it the whole day…. An apple fix would have been simpler… Remember to back up first! 

Everyone with iPhone 16 is having the same problem. It’s been reported to Apple and they’ve done NOTHING! Also, not sure if anyone else is having the same problem, but my phone freezes all the time and I have to do a hard reset at least once a day. I wish I never got this phone.

I am losing my mind lol

iPhone 16 Pro Max on 18.1 in Australia… still no stickers!

Just tried it this doesn’t work on my iPhone 16 pro. However all methods work fine on my SE which is a few updates behind…

Tried that and the bug is still there

Same issue here

Same challenge here, stickers not working, + symbol doesn't add the sticker once you create it. all has vanished. please advise

Same problem on 15 pro max with iOS 18.
