I love my dog, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. She’s brown and white and loves to go on walks and I take every opportunity to show her to the world. And with the\u00a0Live Stickers\u00a0iPhone<\/span><\/span> feature, I can turn photos of her into emoji and stickers, and then text them to everyone I know.<\/p>\n Apple introduced Live Stickers in\u00a0iOS 17<\/span><\/span>\u00a0as an evolution of the tap-and-lift feature from\u00a0iOS 16, which lets you cut out subjects from photos and Live Photos. Now, by saving those cutouts as emoji and stickers of pets, family and friends, you can send endless cuteness to others.<\/p>\n Don’t miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. <\/em>Add CNET<\/em> as a preferred Google source.<\/em><\/p>\n Here’s how to transform your photos into emoji and stickers to send in Messages and other apps.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Open your Photos<\/strong> app. Apple\/Screenshot by CNET<\/span><\/p>\n Your iPhone will then add the Live Sticker to your Stickers drawer and appear in your emoji keyboard.
