New Stickers Disappear Immediately (iOS 18 Messages App)

i have the 13 pro. i updated my phone and tried to make stickers but they keep disappearing. it works perfectly on my ipad just not my phone

November 10 and this is still an issue. In fact, all of my stickers did not port over from iPhone 15 Pro Max to the new 16 Pro Max.

I had some really great ones too. 👎🏼👎🏼

I gave in. Restored from backup. Now everything works. If you have the time it’s worth it.

Same Here...and to be honest, this new phone is absolute garbage. I wish I would have saved my money and kept my old one. I've had nothing but issues with it since day one. COMPLETE GARBAGE....

Same here, using new Iphone 16 pro max and cannot create or send stickers. Is there any solution for this?

Same here on my iPhone 16. The stickers immediately disappear after making them.

Even after the newest update.

Hopefully with the next update coming in December.

Hmmm... I'm not seeing "Stickers" in this list ... maybe that's a hint as to the problem

Still broken on 16 PM with 18.1.1. Very frustrating!!!!! This has had solid visibility and a large number of people affected. It seems like it should be an easy fix.

THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM!!! Stickers don’t work. Blacked out/blank emojis in recently used.

16 Pro Max, 1tb running 18.2. Same issue, no stickers.

18.1.1 does not fix it either :(

I updated my back up iPhone XR from IOS 16.4.1 to iOS 18 with my no problems which is shocking, I won't install iOS 18 on my iPhone 14 due to last year with IOS 17.2.1. my iPhone 14 had issues connecting to cellular network, which drove me crazy, I will wait for IOS 18.0.1.

Same here! From iPhone 13 Pro to 16 pro. All self made stickers missing, and making new ones have them just disappear in an instant.

all still working well on my iPad.

also, Universal Clipboard and handoff had issues, but seems to work now.

edit: ping my Apple Watch isn’t working either. Can ping my phone via watch tho.

Didn't work for me either. I solved the problem by restoring to the new iphone from a backup i made of the old iphone with Apple Devices on a laptop. Had to re-establish all the security settings for various apps, but other than that worked well.
