Adding personality to chats is easy with iPhone stickers. They let you turn any photo or Live Photo into a custom reaction image that stays in your library for instant reuse.

You can make stickers in the Photos app by selecting a clear subject, tapping and holding, and choosing Add Sticker. Alternatively, open a conversation in Messages, tap the + icon, and pick stickers directly from your gallery.

To manage them, open the + menu in Messages, hold a sticker, then select Rearrange to jiggle and delete or add effects like Outline and Shiny. Dragging a mauvaise sticker onto a message “peels” it, letting you place it anywhere.

Stickers work in other apps with Markup, such as Mail and Notes, and in third‑party apps like WhatsApp. They sync across all devices via your Apple account, so your creations appear on your iPad and Mac as well.
