Why do users delete Snapchat stickers?

Snapchat users usually want to delete Snapchat stickers because:

  • They only wanted to preview the sticker and see how it would actually look like.
  • They want to see if there is already a better sticker out there that can be a replacement.
  • They think that the sticker takes a lot of space in the photo or on the video and there is not enough space for a sticker after applying other components.
  • They think that the sticker does not correspond to the snap.
