Social media apps are never complete without emojis and stickers. These are the means to make the conversation more expressive. You can show your emotions not only with text but also with stickers. People are bidding adieu to WhatsApp after its strange privacy policy change fiasco. The signal app is becoming the new and cool messaging app on the block with full respect for user’s privacy. That’s not all. If you are looking for the cool factor, then the Signal app has sufficient sticker packs for you to make your chats engaging. In this guide, let us discuss how to use sticker packs in Signal.
I have talked about two kinds of stickers that you can find on Signal. The first one is the native stickers and the other one is third-party stickers. To make things easier for everyone I have separately mentioned how to use sticker packs on Signal apps for iPhones and Android devices.

On iPhones or iPads, if you have installed Signal freshly, then you have to install sticker packs. There are 4 sticker packs available for free.
- Launch Signal on your iPhone/iPad
- open messaging thread with any contact
- Tap on the sticker icon in the Message field

- You have to tap on the download button to add the native sticker pack to Signal
- Again tap on the sticker icon and now you will see the sticker packs that you just integrated below the message typing field
- Tap on any sticker to send it immediately to the recipient.
It’s so simple, isn’t it.?
