Reaction stickers

Reaction Stickers for iMessage

Reaction stickers are strongest when they replace a message someone would otherwise type: yes, no, wow, sorry, thanks, or I cannot believe this.

Cover the common reply set

Start with yes, no, love it, crying, shocked, excited, angry, bored, side eye, thinking, good night, and thank you. This gives users a reason to open the pack often.

Make faces expressive

The face should explain the sticker before the caption is read. Large eyes, clear mouths, and strong gestures make reaction stickers easier to understand.

Test against busy chat backgrounds

A sticker needs enough outline and contrast to work on light bubbles, dark mode, photos, and mixed message threads.

Key takeaways

  • Reaction stickers should replace common typed replies.
  • The face should read before the caption.
  • Outlines help stickers work across iMessage contexts.
