Apple’s iMessage App On iPhone Has A Hidden Feature That Not A Lot Of People Know About

Apple’s iMessage app, a popular messaging platform on the iPhone, regularly introduces new features each year. Recently, it has been discovered that the app contains a hidden feature that allows users to layer emojis and create custom stickers to share with their contacts. To learn more about this feature, try it out on your iOS 17 device.

Unlock the Fun of Emoji Sticker Creation with iMessage on iOS

The newly found functionality bears a striking resemblance to the emoji kitchen found on Android, but it is much more straightforward. Despite this, there are notable distinctions between the two. For example, Android’s emoji kitchen tool generates a completely new emoji, whereas the iMessage app on iPhone merely overlays one emoji onto another to form a sticker. It is astounding that this feature has been concealed within the iMessage app on iOS.

To experience it yourself, you will need to have access to Apple’s iMessage app, as it is not compatible with regular SMS messages. The initial step is to send an emoji to a family member or friend. Then, simply open the keyboard, choose another emoji, and drag it onto the first one that was sent. This action can be repeated with various emojis to produce a sticker.

The discovery of this feature was shared by a Reddit user (via U.K. Sun) and it seems that not many people are aware of it. The beauty of this feature lies in its simplicity – users only need to drag and drop their desired emoji on top of each other. In addition, there is an option to enlarge the sticker by using another finger. By holding the emoji and stretching your other finger, the sticker will become larger. If you rotate your finger, the emoji will also rotate accordingly.

The process is quite simple and does not necessitate the use of any external application. Keep in mind that you must send an emoji to the recipient initially before being able to place additional emojis on top of it by dragging and dropping.
