iMessage stickers arrived way back in iOS 10, allowing users to resize stickers, put them on top of chat bubbles, add them in photos, and stick them on top of other stickers, with simple controls for dragging. Detergent IML Label
Stickers have come a long way since then. In iOS 17, for example, users are now able to create their own stickers from photo subjects, and even add neat little effects to individual stickers to change up their look.
There are a number of effects that can be added to stylize your stickers, including a white outline, comic-like shading, a puffy 3D look, and a shiny, holographic finish. The sticker effects will animate and reflect the light appropriately, making your self-created stickers look professionally done.
The following steps show you how sticker effects are applied in iOS 17.
That's all there is to it – your stylized sticker is now ready to be shared with the world.
