Where Did That Awesome iMessage Sticker Pack Come From?

Apple’s latest ad highlights sticker fights, but in real life. People run around slapping the images on others. It culminates in a free-for-all sticker fight in a restaurant, then the comic brawl moves to a nightclub. The key to winning any sticker fight is having the most unique, awesome packs available. Bonus points, of course, go to the combatant with the most stickers. That’s why it’s terrific to have a way to quickly and easily find out where your opponents’ stickers come from.

When you first receive a sticker from someone, you’ll see a text link below the image that tells you what pack it came from. You can click on that link, and you’ll go straight to the App Store listing for that particular sticker pack. The only problem is, that link goes away after a while. If you don’t snag the sticker pack the first time you click the link and then forget which one it was, you might think you’re out of luck.

There’s another way to get that essential information, luckily. If the link is gone, you can long press the sticker to get the menu of thumbs up and other reactions. Note, this isn’t a 3D Touch, so it will work on any iPhone. When the reaction stickers pop up, you’ll also see a contextual menu at the bottom of your iPhone screen. One of the choices will be the sticker pack that picture came from. Click on it, and you’ll go straight to the App Store listing and can add those stickers to your arsenal.
