Removing photos from conversations on iMessage can be a bit tricky, but it's actually quite simple. To remove a photo from a conversation, you just need to press and hold the photo, tap on "more" in the menu, and then tap on the delete icon at the bottom left of the Sticker Details screen.

If you're having trouble finding the Sticker Details screen, make sure you're long-pressing on the photo itself, not just the sticker. And if you're still having issues, try closing and reopening the Messages app.

Removing a photo this way only hides it for you, so others in the chat will still see it. But it's a good way to clean up a conversation before sharing it with others.

In group chats, removing a photo only affects what you see, so you can still see what others have posted without seeing your own photo removal.

Troubleshooting Sticker Packs

If you're experiencing issues with sticker packs not showing up in your Messages app, it's likely due to the fact that sticker packs are only available on devices running iOS 10 or later.

Sticker packs are stored in the Messages app's cache, so clearing the cache can resolve issues.

The Messages app's cache can be cleared by going to Settings > Messages > Toggle off "iMessage" and then toggle it back on.

Sticker packs can also be re-downloaded by going to the App Store and searching for the sticker pack you want to re-download.

If you're still having trouble, try restarting your iPhone to see if that resolves the issue.
