I love using stickers on my iPhone. They make my chats fun and expressive. But after a while, my sticker collection got messy. Some packs were outdated, and I barely used half of them. Scrolling through endless stickers just to find the right one became annoying. I knew it was time for a cleanup.
At first, I wasn’t sure how to remove them. The settings weren’t obvious, and I didn’t want to delete the wrong thing. After some trial and error, I finally figured it out. Now, I can quickly delete stickers I don’t need and keep my favorites.
