Sticker packs and characters
The eleven built-in packs, the seven characters in them, what the animated pack is — and how Settings › Stickers decides which packs are in your tray.
Every sticker pack ships inside the app, published by Private.Ki. There is no sticker store, no import and no way to make a pack — what there is, is eleven packs you can add to your tray, remove from it and put in the order you like. Sending one is Send a sticker.

Seven characters appear across them — Ki, Pip, Locke, Cipher, Snoop, Nobody and Tinny, the Ki Friends. Their names are on the artwork, not in any menu: what you pick in the app is always a pack.
Each pack row shows its cover, its name, and a line reading 40 stickers · by Private.Ki · Built in. Built in means exactly that: the pictures are part of the app, so adding a pack fetches nothing and sends nothing to our server.
The animated pack
Ki Basics Animated is the same forty moments as Ki Basics, drawn as short loops instead of stills. It carries an Animated pill beside its name everywhere it is listed, because a cover that happens not to be moving at that instant looks like any other cover.
- It animates in the web app and in the Android app. On iPhone the still version is shown.
- If your system has reduce motion turned on, the stills are used everywhere — including the pack's cover.
- Sending one is identical to sending a still sticker, and it travels as the same short reference. The loops are already on both devices.

The arrows move a pack up or down; Remove takes it out of the tray.
- Under From Private.Ki are the packs you have not added. Add puts one in your tray. When everything is in, the section says Every pack is in your tray.
- Above the packs are the two behaviour switches, Suggest stickers while typing and — on a desktop — Double-tap to send. Both are explained in Send a sticker.
An empty tray is allowed: with no packs added, the sticker side reads No packs in your tray. Add one below.
Which packs are in your tray, their order and the two switches are settings of the app on that device, not of your account. The list at the bottom of the screen says the same thing in one sentence: Built-in packs ship inside the app. Adding one sends nothing to the server, and a sticker is never sent as a picture — only its name travels, inside the encrypted message.
Common questions
Does removing a pack delete anything?
No. Remove takes the pack out of your tray; the pictures stay in the app, and Add puts it back.
Why do the regional packs have twenty stickers instead of forty?
They are the smaller sets — Ki Friends in Asia and Ki Friends in America, each in two parts. Nothing else about them differs.
Will there be more packs?
New packs arrive with app updates and show up under From Private.Ki. Nothing needs installing beyond updating the app.
Do my packs follow me to another device?
No. Add them there too — it takes a tap each, and nothing is transferred or synced.
