How to make a picture sticker on iOS 16?

IOS 16 is in the market, and there is so much left to explore in its features. We already know all the mainstream features and how to use them according to our needs, but some features went unnoticed as they were minor. But let me clear the air by saying although there are some minor features they put as much impact on making our experience of using the iPhone device smooth and easy as the major ones. One of their minor features that were left out while counting the features, was how to make a picture into a sticker on iOS 16.

Apple has not given us the exact feature of converting our images into stickers, but we can make it possible by following a rather simple method to do so. We can do so by using the feature called Visual look up that enables photo cutouts. Thanks to the visual look up feature you can now lift the subject from any image completely deleting the background. But what can you do after removing the subject from the image? You can simply use it as a sticker and share them as per your desire with your friends and family or in any group.

How to make a picture sticker on iOS 16?

With the visual look up feature on iOS 16, you can easily make a picture into a sticker. There are 2 ways to do it, either you do it manually with the help of a files app that comes pre installed on your device, or you can install a drop sticker; a third party application to convert your pictures into stickers.
