How do I delete stickers from my iPhone?

Hey! I ran into this exact issue a few months ago. Apple doesn’t make it obvious, but here’s what you can do: open Messages, tap into a conversation, then hit the “+” icon (App Drawer) or the App Store icon. From there, swipe through until you see all your sticker packs. Long-press on the stickers you don’t want or tap the “More” (•••) menu. Then choose Edit or Manage. If the sticker pack came from a third-party app, you’ll see a toggle to turn it off. If you want it completely gone, you’ll need to delete the app it came from via the home screen. For Apple’s own sticker packs (like Memoji), you can only hide them, not fully delete them. I did this with a few silly meme packs that cluttered my keyboard, and now my Messages feel way cleaner. It’s less deleting and more “hiding,” but it works.

It depends on the source of the stickers. For ones tied to an app (like Bitmoji or a game), you’ll need to delete that app from your iPhone. For default stickers (like Memoji), you can’t delete them, only hide them in iMessage. Go into the App Drawer → More → Edit, and just turn them off. Once I did that, my keyboard looked less overwhelming, and I only kept the packs I actually used regularly. It’s not perfect, but it’s manageable.

Here’s the deal: third-party stickers vanish if you delete their parent app. For hiding, go to Messages → App Drawer → More → Edit. Toggle off the ones you don’t want cluttering your bar. Sadly, Apple doesn’t allow full removal of native stickers.

It’s more about “managing” than deleting. If they came from apps, remove the app itself. If they’re built-in Apple stickers, just hide them in the iMessage settings. I cleaned mine out last week, and it makes finding stickers so much easier during chats.
