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.

Google’s Waze app is being misused by speeding drivers to dodge police fines
The crowdsourced incident reporting system in Waze is being misused by speeding drivers to dodge police action.
Incident reporting in Waze.

Waze is a popular navigation app that is used by millions of users across the globe. One of its standout features is a crowd-sourced incident reporting system, which now even ties into Google Maps, as well. The built-in Disruptions and incidents feature lets users add warnings about accidents, closed lanes, ongoing construction, traffic jams, and other road hazards on the map.

The objective is to use this crowdsourced incident reporting system to warn other drivers so they can adjust their routes accordingly. The Volpe Center for Transportation Research is even using the same data from Waze to predict crashes and deploy emergency responders. Well, it appears that rash drivers have found another way to use these alerts. According to research by the University of the Sunshine Coast, this live alert system is now being used to drop info about police presence on the map, so that other drivers can slow down in time and avoid speeding tickets.
