In today's digital age, personalized communication is key, and stickers offer a fun way to inject unique flair into your chats. Whether you're crafting stickers from photos, emoji, Live Photos, or even Genmoji using generative AI (available in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15), Apple devices simplify sticker creation and customization. However, managing and deleting unwanted stickers is equally important for maintaining a clean and organized collection.

You can create stickers from a wide variety of sources: emoji, static images, animated Live Photos, stickers received from others, and custom Genmoji. Memoji stickers and third-party sticker packs add even more options.

Here's how to manage your stickers:

• Third-party sticker packs: Hide them within the Messages app's Stickers app, or remove them entirely by deleting the associated app.
• Memoji stickers: Delete the corresponding Animoji to remove the stickers, or hide them like third-party packs in Messages.
• Emoji stickers: While you can't delete them, you can remove them from your recently used list.
• Custom stickers: Created from photos, Live Photos, Genmoji, or received stickers, these can be permanently removed using several methods.

The best part? Changes sync across all your iCloud-enabled devices, so deleting a sticker once removes it everywhere. Let's explore how to keep your sticker collection fresh and organized:

Removing Custom Stickers (iOS, iPadOS):

Method 1: Via the Stickers App in Messages

1. Open Messages and any conversation.

4. Touch and hold a sticker to reveal the contextual menu. Select "Delete."

5. Deleting Multiple Stickers: Touch and hold a sticker, choose "Rearrange," and use the "Delete" (?) button for each sticker. There's no confirmation prompt.

Method 2: Via the Emoji Keyboard

1. Open the Emoji keyboard (from any app).
2. Go to the "Live" tab (peeling sticker).
3. Touch and hold a sticker, select "Delete" from the contextual menu, or use "Rearrange" to delete multiple stickers simultaneously.

Method 1: Via the Stickers App in Messages

1. Open Messages and any conversation.
2. Click the Apps button (⊕) and select "Stickers."
3. Go to the "Live" tab.
4. Right-click (or Control-click, or two-finger click) the sticker and select "Delete."
