Edit or delete sticker: Repeat steps 1-3 and long-press on the sticker to edit or delete it. While editing, you can only change the sticker style, you cannot add text or edit the sticker area you want to keep or remove.

Few things to keep in mind:

  • Unfortunately, starting with OneUI 6, Samsung has removed the option to manually select the sticker.
  • Another way to add a sticker on top of another image is by using the clipboard. Long-press an image to cut out the sticker and select Copy. Open the background picture and tap the three-dot icon, followed by Paste from the clipboard.
  • Use the lasso tool to manually select the area for the sticker. Tap the Edit button in the Gallery app and press the Four-circle icon > Lasso tool. Save the image. Then, long-press on the new image and save it as a sticker.

Method 2: From Samsung Keyboard

To send a sticker in third-party apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc., use the Samsung Keyboard app. You can also use it to create, edit, or delete stickers.

Step 1: Open the Samsung Keyboard in any app.

Step 2: Tap on the Emoji icon in the toolbar of the keyboard, followed by the Gallery icon to see your stickers. Select the sticker that you want to send. Or long-press any sticker and select Edit or Delete.

Note: On older versions of Samsung OneUI, the sticker might be sent as an image with a black background in third-party apps. In such cases, use the native options in the apps to create a sticker or use third-party apps such as Sticker Maker and Sticker Maker by Stickify to convert the picture into a sticker.

Bonus Method: Create and Add Sticker on a Picture By Long Pressing the Picture

In the Samsung Gallery app, open the picture from which you want to make a sticker. Long press on the subject in the picture and select Save as a sticker. Please note that this method works on OneUI 5.1 and above only.

  • Alternatively, tap on the three-dot icon and select Save as image. The saved image will be saved in the Gallery app.
