Stickers are a fun way to spice up your iMessage chats. However, as you download new sticker packs or create Live Stickers, your collection can get cluttered with ones you don’t use. It’s a good idea to delete them to keep your collection organized. In this guide, I’ll show you how to remove stickers from your iPhone.

While you can delete custom stickers in the Messages app, you can also remove them while using other apps. Here’s how:
- Summon the keyboard on any iOS app that lets you use the keyboard.
- Tap the Emoji icon or switch to the Emoji keyboard.
- Select the stickers icon (folded circle) to access your stickers.
- Tap and hold the sticker you want to delete → Select Delete.
