What to Do With Shared Photos

Important notes about stickers on shared photos:

• You can only remove stickers from the original on your device
• Photos already sent through messages keep their stickers
• Social media posts need to be edited or reposted after changes
• Cloud services like iCloud will update if you edit the original

Preventing Future Sticker Issues

To make sticker removal easier:

1. Duplicate important photos before adding stickers
2. Use Markup for temporary sticker additions
3. Save sticker versions as copies, not originals
4. Keep your iOS updated for the best editing tools
