6/4/2026

Summary

Google Launches Stickers

Google launched a “Stickers” folder in Google Photos for Android users in the United States.
The folder appears in the Collections tab and automatically saves Android-created stickers for later reuse.
It requires Google Photos version 7.78 and arrives months after iOS custom stickers, giving Android parity.
Rollout is gradual, on Pixel 10 Pro XL devices but not yet on certain Vivo or Galaxy models, requiring users to update the app.

Summary

Google Adds StickerHub

The Collections tab now serves as a central hub that automatically stores all custom stickers for easy browsing.
Consolidating stickers enables users to reply faster in messaging apps without recreating images each time.
Google Photos version 7.78 adds incremental export and scheduled Google Takeout backups to help manage large libraries.
Despite some complaints about the Gemini-powered “Ask Photos” search, overall user sentiment toward the new sticker hub remains positive.
