Enable and Send Custom Stickers Using Gboard
Google enables stickers by default on Gboard. If you have disabled the option in Gboard settings, you won’t be able to create stickers during conversations.
Step 1: Open the Gboard keyboard > Settings icon > Emoji, Stickers, and GIFs > enable Stickers.
Step 2: Open Messages on your phone > open the keyboard > compose your messages > Type text, hit Space, and then select a relevant emoji from the suggestions.
If you tap on any emoji without hitting the spacebar, Gboard will replace the text with an emoji. To create a custom text sticker, you must type text and emojis in a conversation.
