Quick answer
The Live Stickers feature in iOS 17 lets iPhone users create custom emoji and stickers from photos of pets, friends, or family.
With the release of iOS 17, Apple expanded image-editing capabilities by introducing the Live Stickers feature. Now users can turn photos of their pets, friends, or family into personalized emoji and stickers for easy sharing in messages.
The sticker creation process is straightforward. Simply open the Photos app, select the desired image, long-press the object until a white frame appears, and save it as a sticker. The sticker is then automatically added to the emoji keyboard and becomes available for use in Apple apps like Messages.
Additionally, you can apply various effects to stickers, such as adding a white frame or shadow to make them more noticeable. However, note that in some third-party apps like Slack* or TikTok*, these stickers may not display.
The Live Stickers feature is a natural evolution of the object-cutting tool introduced in iOS 16. Now users can not only share photos but also create unique visual elements for communication, adding emotional depth to their messages.
