Introduction
Stickers that feel familiar — with an on-device library.
Open the emoji / GIF / sticker panel in the composer. Browse Recents, Favorites, and packs you imported. Pack files live in an on-device library (not the SQLCipher message database). Import copies WebP onto the phone; Buzzio does not host publisher packs for everyone on its CDN.
Import does not send a chat message. Sending a sticker follows the privacy model of the chat you are in.
Why Buzzio is best for stickers
Recents & Favorites
Quick shelves for stickers you used lately and ones you starred — same tray habit as other messengers.
Add to Buzzio
Import from sticker apps (Android / iOS) or publisher websites with an Add to Buzzio link.
On-device packs
Files copy locally. Offline works for the app-import path after you confirm.
Sealed send path
In sealed 1:1 / E2E / Whisper, stickers follow the same E2EE media path as other private media.
Publisher rules
512×512 WebP, 3–30 stickers per pack, static or animated — not mixed. Spec on sticker-api.buzzio.dev.
No pack hosting CDN
Buzzio does not upload publisher packs to host them for the world — your library is yours.
What you get
- Sticker tray
- Recents
- Favorites
- Imported packs

How it works
How to send
Open the panel
In a chat composer, open the emoji / GIF / sticker panel and switch to stickers.
Pick a shelf
Choose Recents, Favorites, or an imported pack.
Tap to send
The sticker sends as chat media on that surface — sealed or shared rules apply.
Manage packs
Remove or refresh packs from the tray / pack management UI as shipped.
Import packs
From another app
- Tap Add to Buzzio in a supported sticker app
- Confirm pack name and tray
- Files copy locally — offline OK on this path

From a website

- No http:// or private IPs
Developers: sticker-api.buzzio.dev.
Privacy strip
Pack files are not uploaded to Buzzio for hosting. Import does not send a chat message. Sending in sealed chats uses the private media path; sending in shared rooms follows that surface’s media model. GIF search (when you use it) is a separate third-party provider path.
Import is a local library feature. Chat privacy depends on where you send.
Boundaries
Stickers vs GIFs
Stickers
- On-device packs you import
- Recents & Favorites shelves
- Publisher Add to Buzzio flows
- Not a GIPHY pack CDN
GIFs
- Search via GIPHY in the panel
- Queries may go to GIPHY
- Great for reactive moments
- Separate from pack import
What stickers do not mean
Packs are on-device — reinstall means re-import. Oversized or mixed static+animated packs fail confirm. Web import needs reachable HTTPS on the publisher origin. Stickers still count toward chat media / freemium file limits when you send them.
Tips
- Star stickers you use often into Favorites
- Re-import after reinstall — packs are not cloud-synced by Buzzio
- Publishers: follow 512×512 WebP and pack size rules
- Use GIFs when you want search, stickers when you want packs
