Stickers in Messages
The new Stickers experience provides you with a single home for all your stickers including Live Stickers, Memoji, Animoji, emoji stickers, and any third-party sticker packs you’ve downloaded⁴. You can react to a message with any sticker through the plus button or directly through the Tapback menu⁴.
