How to Use Pepe Stickers on iMessage

A complete walkthrough for finding the pack in Apple Messages, sending reactions, and placing a sticker directly on a chat bubble.

Pepe Meme Stickers is a native sticker pack for Apple Messages. After you download it, the pack becomes available inside the system Stickers drawer on your iPhone or iPad. It does not need an account, a custom keyboard, or access to your conversations.

Quick path

Messages → open a conversation → tap + → Stickers → choose the Pepe Meme Stickers icon.

How to find Pepe Meme Stickers

  1. Download the pack.
    Open the App Store listing and complete the purchase using your Apple Account.
  2. Open Apple Messages.
    Start a new conversation or choose an existing one. Sticker packs are accessed from inside a conversation.
  3. Open the Messages menu.
    Tap the plus button beside the text field, then choose Stickers.
  4. Select the Pepe icon.
    Use the icons at the top of the sticker drawer to move between Emoji, Memoji, Live Stickers, and installed third-party packs.
  5. Browse the collection.
    Swipe vertically through more than 160 reactions, then choose the one that matches the moment.

Send a sticker as its own message

The fastest way to reply is to tap a sticker once. It appears in the message field, where you can optionally add text before sending. Tap the blue send arrow and it becomes a standalone message in the conversation.

This works best when the sticker is the complete reaction: a laugh, a facepalm, a shocked expression, or a simple thumbs-up.

Drag a sticker onto a message bubble

Stickers can also work like visual annotations. Touch and hold the sticker in the drawer until it lifts, then drag it over a message, photo, or another sticker in the conversation. Release your finger when it is in the right position.

While dragging, use a second finger to pinch for size or rotate the sticker. This makes it possible to attach a tiny side-eye to one corner of a message or place a large reaction across a photo.

Placement tip

Avoid covering important text. Placing a reaction near the edge of a bubble keeps the original message readable and makes the sticker feel like a response.

How to remove a sticker

If a sticker was attached to a message bubble, touch and hold that message, then choose Sticker Details. Find the sticker you want to remove, swipe left, and tap Delete. The exact menu wording can differ slightly between iOS releases.

Deleting an attached sticker does not remove the entire pack. It only removes that placement from the conversation on your device.

If the pack does not appear

  • Confirm the download finished in the App Store.
  • Close Messages completely and open it again.
  • Swipe through the installed pack icons in the Stickers drawer.
  • Confirm you are using the same Apple Account that purchased the pack.
  • Restart the device if a newly installed extension still does not appear.
