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.

This Android lock screen bug lets anyone text using Gemini without knowing your PIN
Google confirms a fix is coming for this risky Gemini lock screen bug

Your Android lock screen is supposed to keep your messages safe, even if someone gets hold of your phone. But a newly discovered Gemini bug could do the opposite. Since May, The Register has received multiple reports of people bypassing device authentication on Android 16 devices that allow Gemini access straight from the lock screen.

The flaw lets anyone use Gemini to send SMS and even WhatsApp messages without ever entering your PIN. It only works under specific conditions, but it is serious enough that Google has confirmed a fix is already rolling out.

OnePlus is gone, and Android phones just became more boring in the US
OnePlus 13 vs OnePlus 11.

I wasn't expecting a smartphone brand's exit to hit me this hard, but OnePlus leaving the US and Europe genuinely did. The company has already confirmed that it will no longer launch new products in either market, although existing customers will continue receiving software updates and after-sales support. So while OnePlus isn’t disappearing altogether, it is walking away from two of the biggest smartphone markets in the world.

To be honest, the Android market in the US already feels limited. If you’re shopping for a flagship, your realistic choices almost always begin with Samsung and end with Google. OnePlus was one of the very few brands sitting in between, offering something that didn’t quite look or feel like everything else. And that’s exactly what I’m going to miss.
