If you’re someone who loves adding color and personality to your digital planning, you might wonder:
“Can I use stickers inside the Reminders app on iPhone or iPad?”
Currently, the iOS Reminders app (2025) does not support adding stickers directly to your reminders or lists the way you can in iMessage or Notes. The app is designed for minimal, distraction-free task management, allowing you to create checklists, add notes, set time and location alerts, and attach photos to reminders—but stickers are not part of its native feature set.
Here’s What You Can Do Instead
Can I add photos to reminders instead?
Yes! While you can’t add stickers directly, you can attach photos to individual reminders for visual reference. For example, if you’re planning a DIY project, you can attach an image of materials you need to buy, or for grocery reminders, you can add a photo of the shopping list you scribbled on paper.
To add a photo:
- Tap the reminder you created.
- Tap on more button (refer below image)
- Tap on “Add image”
- Choose to take a photo or select one from your library.
While this doesn’t replace the fun of stickers, it helps you add a visual element to your reminders.
Using emojis as “stickers” in Reminders
Many iPhone and iPad users use emoji in the titles of reminders and lists as a playful workaround to add color and visual organization to their tasks.
For example:
✅ “🛒 Grocery Shopping”
✅ “📞 Call Mom”
✅ “💧 Water the Plants”
✅ “🩺 Doctor Appointment”
This method helps you:
- Visually categorize tasks by type or urgency.
- Make your lists more fun and engaging to check daily.
- Quickly identify lists at a glance.
To add emoji, simply tap the title field when creating a reminder or list and insert the emoji using your keyboard.

Apps that allow stickers for planning
If you specifically want digital stickers for planning, consider:
- Notes app (iOS): Allows you to add stickers alongside checklists, with drag-and-drop support in iOS 18 and later.
- GoodNotes or Notability: These apps support digital stickers for planners and to-do lists.
- Third-party sticker planner apps available on the App Store for a sticker-centric planning workflow.
These apps complement your Reminders workflow, letting you enjoy a visually creative planning style while using Reminders for structured, notification-based task tracking.
Will Apple add stickers to Reminders in the future?
While Apple regularly enhances the Reminders app (recent updates include Smart Lists, natural language input, and pinned lists), there is no official indication that sticker support will be added soon. However, if Apple introduces this feature in upcoming updates, we will update this post so you can enhance your digital planning with stickers.
The Reminders app doesn’t support stickers, but you can still make your lists more engaging using emojis and photos. If you love stickers for planning, pairing the Reminders app with Notes or third-party apps can give you the best of both worlds: structured task management with playful sticker-based planning.
Whether you’re a student, a busy parent, or managing projects, using these small hacks keeps your reminders visually appealing while staying productive.
