How can I remove the sticker icon that is left of the send button on the messaging app?

Hey @userF3yCBcNma7, unfortunately this option is not removable with the stock messaging app. I would recommend downloading a third party messaging app such as Google's Android Messages app. Hopefully this will become an option for you to disable it.

This, along with ALL, messaging features should be optional... period! It is an annoying icon that just gets in the way and I don't appreciate having it forced into my message input area. There is no excuse in not having the option to remove it or change it to a different feature, it's just lazy programming and coding. If I wanted a child's texting feature to be forced on me I'd buy an iPhone.

Ditto!  I hate that STUPID sticker icon, and I will NEVER use those stupid stickers.  Absurd that it cannot be removed.

Hey Rydah,

I don't see anywhere to accept your solution.  Care to help??

Instead of instructing your customers to use a different app, be a good "ambassador" and instruct samsung to fix their app.

Thanks for the information.

Samsung needs to get rid of all the kids options on adult phones. A patch to disable these are needed ASAP.

Are Samsung looking at allowing users to disable this icon or atleast change it to something more useable. These sticker do not form part of the message and are sent as mms on my phone.

Will this be sorted in the next Android update?
