Bug description

Unable to send apps inbuild stickers as a reply to a message. It is possible to do the same via other keyboards inbuild stickers such as GBoard. This system of sticker replying is widely used in other messaging applications.

Steps to reproduce

Take a message in a chat for replying
Select an inbuild sticker from Signal app

Actual result: Message Doesn't get pinned and the sticker is sent as an individual message, not as a reply. Expected result: Message should get pinned as it does in a text reply

I could solve this issue, please assign it to me.

This is intended behavior. This is not a bug.

I actually have an open bug report for being able to send stickers via your keyboard (like Gboard). You're only able to reply with those stickers because Signal is converting them to images. Only Signal stickers are technically the sticker format.

If you can reply with an image there's no reason you can't reply with a sticker. I don't know if it's a bug or an unimplemented feature but I lack it almost everyday, mainly in group chats

There's questions around how we want stickers to look with quotes, which is why we don't currently allow stickers with quotes. We're thinking about it :+1:

You had 3 years now to think about it... what's your conclusion? 🙂
