Note: These screenshots were captured in the Instagram application on iOS.

Step 1: In a Direct conversation, tap the sticker icon to the right of the “Message…” text field.

Step 2: Tap the Selfie sticker.

Step 3: If you’ve already created and saved a selfie sticker (for instance, if you created one to use in Instagram Stories), you can tap it under the “Saved Stickers” section to instantly send it. If you need to create a new sticker, tap the capture button under the camera window. Note: You have multiple options that allow you to create multiple kinds of selfie stickers. For instance, if you tap the heart eyes emoji under the camera window, you can add heart eyes to your selfie before creating a sticker. You can also tap the camera window itself to change the background for your sticker.

Step 4: If you created a new sticker, tap the black and white arrow icon to send the sticker in the conversation. Note: You can also tap “Save Sticker” to save the selfie sticker so you can use it again later on.
