How can I remove a custom emoji I accidentally created on my iPhone?
Asked by

So, I accidentally turned a rather inappropriate picture of myself into a custom emoji on my iPhone. I was trying to edit the photo by cutting it out and changing the background when I hit something that made it get saved as an emoji. Now, every time I open my emoji keyboard, that picture shows up, and I'm really worried I'll use it by accident. Can someone help me figure out how to delete this?

You can easily delete it! Just do a quick Google search on how to remove custom emojis. There’s an Apple support page that explains it well.

You probably mean a sticker instead of an emoji. Try looking up solutions for deleting stickers; that might help!

In your Notes, bring up the keyboard and tap the smiley face icon. Hold down your sticker until a delete option pops up. It sometimes takes a few tries, but it works!
HelpfulHarry: Thanks, that worked! I had to hold it down a bunch of times, but finally got the delete option to show up.

Make sure you're looking in the sticker section of your emojis! Long-press on your custom sticker and you should see a delete option. It's really simple!

Press and hold the emoji until it gets slightly bigger, then let go when it shrinks back down. You should see a delete option appear!

If it's a sticker you created, you can delete it while in Messages. Just add a sticker, long-press on it, and there should be a delete option. Easy peasy!
