How to Create Stickers Using Google Photos on iPhone

Google Photos has been rolling out a slew of new features that make the app smarter and more versatile than ever. One of the coolest additions is the ability to turn your favorite photos into custom stickers. Here's how to create stickers right in Google Photos on your iPhone to send to any app.

How to create stickers using Google Photos

Step 1:

You open the image in Google Photos then press and hold on the image and select Copy to copy the subject. Next, open any application on iPhone and paste the newly copied image .

Now you will see the image sent as a sticker and automatically remove the background as shown below.

Step 2:

Google Photos doesn't let you save stickers for later. Stickers also won't show up in the Stickers section on your iPhone.

Tap on the sticker and then select the share icon below, then select Save Photo in the displayed menu to save this sticker in the album on iPhone.

The sticker will now appear in your Photos app. You can then use the sticker in any app you want.

This feature is currently only available for iPhone users, not yet available on Android. Before trying it, make sure you have updated your Google Photos app to the latest version.
