People only just realising you can ‘layer’ emojis on iPhone with hidden trick

People have just discovered a pretty cool iPhone feature which allows you to stack emojis on iMessage.

The feature means you can essentially create your own emoji art by layering different emojis on top of each other.

So, how is it done?

New York content creator @thatsannette, shared a video explaining how you can try it yourself.

Essentially, all you need to do is head onto iMessage and send your first emoji - this is the one that you want to layer other emojis on top of.

So ultimately, it's kind of the base emoji.

Then, head back to your emoji library and choose which one you want to stack on top.

Select and drag it onto the message and add it on top of the base emoji. You can then repeat this as many times as you like with other emojis.

You can also use your fingers to make the emojis bigger or smaller.

And if you want to delete an emoji, that's fine. Simply tap and hold the base emoji until the menu appears.

Select 'sticker details' then swipe left on the emoji you want to remove. Once confirmed, the emoji will be removed.

Pretty cool, huh?

"It's so much fun to test your creativity out of this," said @thatsannette.

"Did you guys know about this feature?"

While some people said the feature wasn't working for them, others pointed out that users need to make sure that their iPhone is fully updated.

Last month, we told you how Apple may be about to add an iOS feature that Android implemented some time ago.

While it's not confirmed, there are rumours that Apple is going to introduce a new feature.

It's probably not the most exciting feature ever and for some, it's probably not a crucial addition either.

But others reckon it's a pretty important one to have.

It's all to do with the Apple home screen. As Apple users will know, you can easily customise your home screen.

But if you add a new app, it automatically slots in next to the latest app that's been added.

In other words, there are no gaps and creating a gap isn't possible.

You can move them, organise them into folders, but you cannot leave a gap if you want to.

However, people are speculating that with the upcoming iOS 18 update, this is something you'll finally be able to do.

We'll have to wait to find out!
