Apple’s iOS 17 Introduces Fun and Customizable Sticker Emojis for iPhone Users

Apple’s latest iOS update, iOS 17, brings an exciting feature for iPhone users – customizable sticker emojis. With this new update, users can now create personalized stickers from their own photos and drop them into iMessage conversations, adding a touch of fun and creativity to their chats.

To get started, users need to ensure their iPhone is running iOS 17 by going to Settings > General > Software Update and installing any available updates. Once updated, creating a sticker is a breeze. Users can either use Apple’s Visual Look Up tool in the Photos app to lift the subject of a picture and turn it into a sticker or create a sticker directly within iMessage.

To access the sticker emoji keyboard, users can open iMessages and start a new conversation or open an existing chat. By tapping the plus sign to the left of the message composition field, a list of options will appear, including Stickers. This is where users can find and use their saved custom stickers.

In addition to creating static stickers, iOS 17 also allows users to create GIF stickers from Live Photos. By selecting the subject of a Live Photo, users can create a moving image sticker that can be dropped into iMessage conversations, adding an extra element of fun and expressiveness.

Dropping stickers into iMessages is simple and offers various options. Users can choose to add a sticker directly into the message composition field, reply to a specific line of text with a sticker, or simply drag and drop stickers into any part of the conversation. Stacking stickers on top of each other is also possible, allowing for even more creative expression.

With the introduction of customizable sticker emojis, Apple continues to enhance the user experience and provide new ways for iPhone users to express themselves in their conversations. So, update your iPhone to iOS 17 and start creating your own personalized stickers to add a touch of fun and creativity to your iMessage chats.
