Struggles making stickers

The problem with inconsistent sticker selection on your iPhone 14 running iOS 17.4.1 is likely caused by a few things:

1. When you long-press an image in Photos, iOS tries to remove the background. This works well for clear images but can have trouble if objects overlap or are slightly transparent.
2. If you edit the screenshot by drawing over parts of it, iOS might see the whole image as one object, making it harder to select the sticker you want.
3. Cropping the screenshot, even for privacy, can change how iOS selects objects in the image.

Instead of holding down on the image in Photos, open the screenshot in Markup by tapping the edit button, then the three dots in a circle. Use the selection tool to trace around the sticker you want. This way, you have better control over what you select.

This does not look like an iOS message App.

If you encounter any challenges with third-party applications, the best course of action is to directly contact the app developer for further assistance. Here's a brief guide on how to do it:

1. Identify the app developer.
2. Visit their website or app store listing.
3. Look for their contact information or support channels.
4. Clearly describe the issue you are facing.
5. Provide any necessary information they may need.
6. Follow their instructions and provide feedback.
7. Be patient and follow up if needed.

By reaching out to the app developer, you increase your chances of receiving accurate and personalized support for the challenges you're experiencing. To contact an App developer --> How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
