These are small apps installed in your Messages app. Here\u2019s how to delete these stickers on iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Open Messages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open the Messages app on your iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open any chat &#8211; it doesn\u2019t matter which one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Open the App Drawer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tap the \u201c+\u201d icon (on iOS 17 and later) or the App Store icon beside the text box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swipe left or up to view your installed iMessage apps and stickers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Manage Stickers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tap the \u201cMore\u201d or Manage option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll see a list of all iMessage apps and sticker packs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Delete the Sticker Pack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Find the sticker pack you want to remove.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swipe left on it or tap the Delete or Remove option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve now successfully removed that sticker pack from Messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: If you downloaded the sticker pack from the App Store, you can also remove it directly from your iPhone\u2019s <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>iPhone Storage<\/strong> or the <strong>App Library<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/lightningxvpn.com\/blog\/en\/how-to-make-a-sticker-on-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Make a Sticker on iPhone: 4 Free Methods<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove Memoji Stickers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Memoji stickers are automatically generated once you create a Memoji. Even if you don\u2019t use them, they appear in your emoji keyboard &#8211; which can be annoying. While you can\u2019t delete Apple\u2019s default Memoji stickers entirely, you can hide them from the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Go to Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Tap General &gt; Keyboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Disable Memoji Stickers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scroll down and toggle off Memoji Stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now your emoji keyboard will only show emojis &#8211; not Memoji stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delete Stickers Sent in Messages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve placed a sticker on a message bubble or photo and want to remove it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the conversation where the sticker was sent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the message or image with the sticker attached.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap and hold the sticker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap Sticker Details or Remove (depending on iOS version).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Delete<\/strong> or <strong>swipe left<\/strong> to remove it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t delete the sticker pack itself &#8211; just the sticker you placed on a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delete Third-Party Sticker Apps on iPhone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some third-party apps automatically install stickers into iMessage when downloaded from the App Store. If you want to delete these stickers completely, you\u2019ll need to delete the associated app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Find the App<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locate the app that provides the stickers on your Home Screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Delete the App<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Press and hold the app icon, then tap <strong>Remove App<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Delete App<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once deleted, its stickers will automatically disappear from your iMessage drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Third-party apps don\u2019t just install sticker packs automatically &#8211; they may also collect personal data without your knowledge.
