Google Photos on Android finally gives your custom stickers a home

A new dedicated Stickers folder in Collections saves every custom sticker you create, so you never have to hunt for them again.

After debuting a nifty sticker-creating feature on iOS last year, Google Photos extended it to Android users this February. The feature lets you quickly create stickers with a simple long-press gesture, making it incredibly easy to share custom stickers with friends and family. Now, Google is adding one more layer of polish to the experience: a dedicated folder that automatically stores every sticker you’ve ever made.

Where to find the Stickers folder

According to 9to5Google, the new Stickers folder lives in the Collections tab in Google Photos, positioned just after the Places map. It arranges your sticker creations in a reverse-chronological grid, so your most recent stickers are always at the top.

Tapping any sticker opens a preview panel with buttons to copy the sticker to share it via the system share sheet or to delete it.

Catching up to iOS

Android users typically are first in line to get new Google Photos features, but sticker creation and the dedicated sticker folder are exceptions. The sticker creation feature first arrived on the iPhone back in August 2025, a full six months before landing on Android. Meanwhile, the sticker folder debuted on iOS back in January.

It’s reportedly live in Google Photos version 7.78, but if you don’t see it right away, make sure you’re on the latest version and watch for an in-app prompt that reads “Stickers you create are automatically saved inside Collections.”

Having all your stickers in one place removes a small but genuine friction point, and brings the Android experience fully in line with what iOS users have had for months.

Vivo X300 FE review: The compact flagship I didn’t expect to like this much
The Vivo X300 FE is the Hawkeye of flagships. It doesn't have superpowers, but somehow gets the job done better than everyone else.
Vivo X300 FE

Why Hawkeye?

Hawkeye was never the strongest Avenger, nor did he have the flashiest suit or superpowers. Yet he consistently proved his worth through precision, reliability, and doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. The Vivo X300 FE follows the same philosophy. It doesn't chase outrageous specifications or marketing gimmicks. Instead, it quietly nails the essentials with a superb display, dependable performance, excellent cameras, and outstanding battery life. It may not grab all the headlines, but when it matters, it's the flagship that gets the job done.
