User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have a problem where stickers are not showing up when I try to find them on my keyboard but they exsist when i manually press “+” and then “stickers”. I can scroll where the stickers should be but it is just a grey background. I have already reset my phone and turned on icloud sync.

If you are trying to use stickers while sending an SMS message, they may not appear as an available option because stickers are supported in iMessage, but their availability and functionality differ in SMS/MMS conversations.
iMessage is Apple's messaging service for communication between Apple devices, whereas SMS/MMS is used for messages sent through your mobile carrier, including messages to Android devices.
If you are trying to send stickers, check whether the conversation is using iMessage (blue message bubbles) or SMS/MMS (green message bubbles). If the conversation is using SMS/MMS, certain stickers or sticker features may not be available in the same way as they are in iMessage.

Has anyone figured out a fix? I restored my content and used a back up from my iCloud. It still doesn’t work.
