How To Add Stickers To Photos In Twitter ForiOS And Android

Twitter has just introduced stickers to its iOS and
Android apps. The stickers can be added to photos that
you’re tweeting. The feature mimics Facebook’s feature
of the same name that even has its own stand alone
app. The feature is rolling out slowly as the updated
app is made available to different regions and isn’t
available yet on the web interface but likely will be
added to it like the GIF feature was. Here’s how it
works.
Before you start tweeting photos with stickers, make
sure your Twitter app is up to date. Open the Twitter
app and compose a new Tweet. You won’t see the
stickers button until you select a photo first. Once a
photo(s) has been selected you will see a little smiley
button next to the photo edit button. Tap it to add a
sticker. If you choose to edit the photo using Twitter’s
built-in photo editor, you will see the same smiley
button appear next to the crop tool.
Select a sticker, pinch to resize and rotate it, drag your
finger on the screen to position it, and tap ‘Save’ when
you’re done. To delete a sticker, tap it and drag & drop
it on to the delete icon that appears at the bottom of
the screen. You can add multiple stickers to a single
photo. The sticker selection tabs also have a ‘frequent’
tab that lets you access recently used stickers quickly.
The stickers are basically the same characters you get
on an Emoji keyboard and they are divided into the
same categories. There is nothing new in terms of
characters and the renditions aren’t even that cute.
They have a flat design and pale in comparison to
Facebook’s own stickers market. Unless Twitter later
decides to create better stickers or opens the feature
up to anyone who wants to make their own set of
stickers, this feature isn’t likely going to be that
popular.
