My friend sent me a sticker in response to a text today, and it was so small I couldn't tell what it was. So, like I am wont to do, I dug around to figure out how to see it bigger:

  1. Tap and hold on the sticker and in the popup menu select "Sticker Details"
  2. This will show a preview of the sticker that may be sufficient to see what it is. If not, tap Save to save it to your own stickers. (Don't worry, we'll delete it in a moment.)
  3. Now compose a text message to yourself.
  4. Tap the plus next to the text box where you write your text, and tap Stickers.
  5. You can view the sticker in the sticker selection pane. If it is still not large enough, tap the sticker to send it to yourself as a picture.
  6. Tap the blue up arrow to send the picture message to yourself as a message.
  7. Now tap on the message you just sent yourself and you can view the sticker like a regular photo attachment including the ability to zoom in.

Also, if you use our Decipher TextMessage app, all sticker messages are displayed as individual messages, so that the date and time the sticker was sent is clearly visible. And you can click on the sticker message in Decipher TextMessage to open the photo file and view it full-size.

If you don't want to keep that sticker for later use, here's how to remove it:

  1. Compose another text message to yourself or anyone.
  2. Tap the plus next to the text box where you write your text, and tap Stickers.
  3. Tap and hold on the sticker for a second then release.
  4. Tap "Delete" in the popup menu.
