How to Get Pug Emoji on iPhone

Emoji are a fun way to communicate a variety of concepts to your friends — but they’re not perfect. As a key example: there is, sadly, no pug emoji.

Thankfully, as of iOS 10, Apple has introduced the ability to download and install third-party stickers and apps for Messages.

Since developers can basically create any sort of sticker pack that they wish, there are — as expected — a wide variety of pug-themed apps, stickers and emoji you can install and use. Here’s how.

How to Get Pug Emoji in iOS 11

1. Open Messages.

2. Choose a Contact you want to send awesome pug stickers to.

3. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see the App Drawer.

   

4. Tap on the App Store logo and tap “Visit Store”.

5. Tap the Search icon, and type in “pug” or some derivative of that.

6. Find the pug pack you’d like to download. Some are free, many aren’t — but choose whichever one speaks to you.

7. When you do, tap “Get”. Use Touch ID to confirm your download.

8. Once it’s installed, you’ll see the sticker pack at the bottom of the App Drawer in Messages.

   

9. From here, you’ll be able to use the third-party stickers in any conversation with other iMessage users running iOS 10 or iOS 11.

   Just open the sticker pack and tap on an emoji to send as a message, or drag and drop them onto a conversation bubble to use as a sticker.
