To be honest, we never thought that such things as stickers would appear in the “Seven Most” section. We wrote about external batteries, charging stations, covers, various utilities, were even ready to tackle watering stations under iPhone control, but fashion dictates its terms. iMessage app, having accumulated a fair amount of mutagens, brought iOS users 10 stickers, internal extensions, dynamic phrases, handwriting and much more. It's very easy to get lost in this whole fair of goodies, so we've selected seven of the most interesting sets of stickers that will come in handy in everyday communication.
Picker stickers
Let's start with the standard set of stickers called Picker, which contains images on various life topics.

Write correctly
“Write correctly” is a set for those who are not afraid of losing friends :) Often interlocutors perceive Grammar Nazi’s participation in dialogues rather caustically, only occasionally listening to the opinion of the guardians of the Russian language.

Travel

Kaomoji
Kaomoji are animated stickers that make up for their rather simple appearance ability to revive. With their help, the chat window can sparkle with new colors, and for free .
Conclusion
Sometimes we write some kind of afterword, and sometimes we prefer to complete the material in English. Now the first option suggests itself. Apple probably went the right way, adding more variety to the branded messenger, but the added monetization seriously spoils the impression of replenishing your own collection of stickers. Our entire editorial team uses Telgram, where similar sets are distributed for free, and they also demonstrate higher quality workmanship. In iMessage, the situation is the opposite: it’s good if sensible stickers can be downloaded without investment, but paying 149 rubles for an internal purchase of the “Masha and the Bears” lot is a shame!
Various emoticons allow you to decorate any phrase in correspondence by attaching a certain emotion to it. They are also available in branded Apple service for forwarding messages. We have specially prepared instructions for you, how to add stickers toiMessage and send them.
Adding Sets
Everything is done from the Message app, which is built-in. Launch it on your device and open a conversation with any contact (you don’t have to send them anything). Next, click on the icon, which is located just to the left of the text entry form. Next, tap on the icon with four dots. Now select Store and then Stickers. 
A store will open where you can purchase or connect your favorite sets for free. They are created by the users themselves, there is huge amount packs on completely different topics. Everyone will find something interesting.
Usage
Everything is clear with adding stickers, now let's move on to using them. Reopen the conversation with the person you want to send the emoticon to. Tap on the icon again. Now go to the added set and click on the appropriate picture. It will immediately appear in the correspondence.
In iOS 10 standard iMessage messenger got a second wind, turning from simple text tool communication at its most real center fun. You can send effects, stickers, drawn messages and even play games. In this material we will figure out how to install and use all this heap of fun features.
Compatibility
Stickers will be displayed correctly on devices running iOS control 10 and macOS Sierra. Sending stickers to older iPhone, iPad or Mac iOS versions or macOS, images or GIF animations will appear instead of stickers, and the placement of multiple layers on one message will be completely ignored.

Options for sending stickers
In addition to the classic sending of stickers, when you select an image and click the send button, there is a less obvious option - directly by dragging it into the conversation area. Hold your finger on any sticker and drag it to the message of interest in the chat.
You can add multiple stickers to any message. This is especially true when the message is not textual and takes up a certain volume (image, video, etc.).
Resizing, rotating and working with layers
Any sticker can be scaled and rotated. Drag the sticker you are interested in into the correspondence window onto the message you are interested in and until you release your finger (publish) do the following:
- touch the display with a second finger and perform the “pinch-to-zoom” gesture (increase/decrease the picture) to scale the image;
- keep one finger in place and rotate the other clockwise or counterclockwise to make the turn.
It is allowed to place stickers on top of each other. The only drawback is that once published, you cannot change the priority between layers. Alternatively, remove one sticker and place the next one. More on this in the next chapter.
Managing and deleting stickers
To switch to sticker management mode, long-tap on the corresponding message, and then select “Sticker details”.
Here you can download sets of stickers that a contact sent you or delete a sent sticker.
