In yesterday’s part 1, I showed you how to create stamps using your Samsung phone’s camera. Today, I will teach you how to do it using ANY picture you find on the internet & save to your Samsung phone.
How to Create & Use Stamps on Your Samsung Phone
Step 1. Find a picture you like online & save it:
Save the picture of the idol, character or other item you want to make into a stamp.
Step 2. Open the photo:
Use Samsung Gallery to open the picture of the person or object you selected.
Step 3. Select the object:
Touch and hold the person or object in the photo on the screen for a few seconds and wait for the stamp creation options to appear.
Step 4. Save as stamp:
Select the “Save as stamp” option, choose your preferred style the tap “Done”.
How to Access & Select Stamps Saved on your Samsung Phone
As we discussed yesterday, to access stamps, tap the button with the flower-like icon above the keyboard to open the stamp menu.
To use stamps, choose a saved stamp to add it to your social media comments/messages, E-mails, notes or use it to decorate your photos. You can use up to 10 stamps at a time.
Get creative: Have fun experimenting with different people & objects! Whose stamp would you like to create? Let me know in the comments!
Note: This feature is available on Samsung phones that support stamp creation. My model is a Samsung Flip 6. See part 1 for a full list of compatible devices as of this writing.

Additional Notes Software Dependency: The stamp creation feature requires One UI 5.0 or later. Devices must be updated to at least Android 13 to access this feature. Some older models (e.g., Galaxy S10, A51) may not receive One UI 5.0 in all regions, so compatibility depends on the software update status. Check your device’s software version in Settings > About Phone > Software Information.
Feature Availability: The primary method for creating stamps is through the Gallery app (as described in the provided guide) or via the Lift Object feature (long-press on a subject in a photo). The Gallery app method is detailed in sources & works on One UI 5.0 and above. The Lift Object method, available on One UI 6.0 and later, allows saving objects as stamps with a transparent background for use in messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Samsung Notes.
Samsung Keyboard Integration: To use custom stamps in messaging apps, they must be added to the Samsung Keyboard. This requires setting the Samsung Keyboard as the default and accessing the stamps via the emoji/sticker menu.
Limitations: Stamps created in the Gallery app are primarily for use within the Gallery or Samsung Notes. For broader use in apps like WhatsApp, the stamps need to be saved to the Samsung Keyboard or exported as PNGs with a transparent background. Some apps may add a black background when sharing, which is a known limitation.
AR Emoji and Galaxy Avatar: Starting with the Galaxy S25 series and One UI 7.0, AR Emoji features are renamed to Galaxy Avatar, which also supports stamp creation. This is available on select models running Android 15 and One UI 7.0.
Device Exclusions: Older models (e.g., Galaxy S9, A50, or earlier) or devices with limited specifications may not support One UI 5.0 or the stamp creation feature due to hardware or software limitations.
Verification
To confirm if your Samsung phone supports stamp creation: Check the One UI version in Settings > About Phone > Software Information.
Open the Gallery app, select a photo, tap Edit (pencil icon), then look for the Decorations (smiley face) icon & Stickers option. If available, tap the Gallery icon and look for Create sticker.
Alternatively, try the Lift Object method: open a photo in the Gallery, long-press on a subject to check if the Save as sticker option appears (One UI 6.0 or later).

I previously expressed concern that Ivory was gone from the S25 demo models, but I guess my Samsung Flip 4 was set to automatically update, because when I picked it up last week, I realised it had updated to One UI 7. I didn’t have any particular problem with this, since I don’t generally use this old phone—its screen is cracked, so it mainly functions as a surveillance camera at this point—but I decided to take a tour of what One UI 7 offers, & to my horror, I discovered that the Ivory filter was gone, replaced with the same camera set up as the S25.
I had been waiting to install One UI 7 on my daily use Flip 6, but seeing that the Ivory filter—my favourite, main filter—was gone, I am now doing EVERYTHING I can to prevent One UI 7 from installing on this main phone. After all, the fact that iPhone did not have any such filter was a major factor in why I got a DJI Pocket 3 but STILL switched back to Samsung after only about 6 months–having 2 devices, neither of which had my preferred filter just to get kind of close to what I wanted was just too much hassle to deal with.
Anyway, in an effort to avoid what now appears to be inevitable, as well as to help others who are currently experiencing the same issue, I preemptively tried looking for a replacement for the Ivory filter on the updated Flip 4 by downloading EVERY available filter. Here are my findings. Note that the Ivory filter is applied on the Flip 6 on the right for reference.
Since One UI 7 allows you to create custom filters by using old photos as a template to apply to new ones, it seems like a no-brainer that you could easily get the Ivory filter back by simply selecting an Ivory-shot photo for this purpose, but that doesn’t work. What makes the Ivory filter special isn’t just that it overexposes whites—it ALSO adds a neon tinge to pink/red hues & a slight, dreamy haze to soften everything. Trying to create a custom filter using an Ivory-shot photo only succeeds halfway in the former aspect; you don’t get any neon hues, & the haze is more grey than soft fuzziness. My frame of reference for this is my purple contact lenses, to which the Ivory filter always lent a dramatic pop. As you can see, no such thing happens when using this custom filter.
Therefore, I cannot recommend this method of trying to get the Ivory filter back. If your goal is simply to look pale, goth or vampiric, there are better options than trying to use an Ivory-filtered photo to create a custom filter in an attempt to replace it. For those who want a closer replacement to the original Ivory filter, with neon tinge & dreamy haze, these are the best free downloadable filters that I can find for the native camera app. There may be additional third-party camera apps which better replicate the Ivory filter, but for the purpose of this article I am only focusing on downloadable filters which are available through the native Samsung camera app therefore requiring no additional apps or in app purchases/subscriptions. I’d like to further mention that this article is in no way sponsored by Samsung or these filter developers (but please sponsor me someday, Samsung!).
This one probably has the most white. As you can tell, that also washes out even the blacks in any image. If you’re going for contrast, the greys this offers might not be what you want.
This one offers more contrast to dark colours, especially when compared to CK01, but it imparts slightly beige tones as well. If you want brighter whites, this might be too neutral.
This one seems to offer the most pinks/reds of any of the three options. Like CK01 It lacks contrast when presenting any darker colors, making NewYork14 more attractive to any who wants darker blacks.
As you can tell, there is no exact one-for-one match to the real Ivory, making older devices or keeping current devices on older UI a more attractive option.
There seems to be an increasing demand for the return of the Ivory filter. You can do your part by joining the increasing number of voices asking Samsung to restore it but, in the meantime, it seems like these are the best available replacements.
As a bonus mention, somebody else in Samsung forums suggested the c360p1 filter as an Ivory replacement, but I have no idea why they did this because it doesn’t look like Ivory at all. It’s just washed out with no neon pop or haze.
Buy a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 & Don’t Update to One UI 7 To Keep the Ivory Filter!

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 worked fine with the Samsung Flip 6…until the Mic Mini update hit the Mimo app, then things went south fast. Is anyone else having these issues?
First symptoms
At first, the only issue I noticed was a slight 0.5s-1.0s lag in the audio. I mistakenly attributed this to the DJI Mic 2. This seemed annoying, but it wasn’t too major. However, as time went on, additional issues became apparent.
On further inspection
Additional testing, however, showed that it was not the Mic 2. Playback on the Pocket 3 directly had no lag, neither did my phone’s native camera app when connected to the Mic 2. At this point I contacted DJI customer service. They requested a video of the audio lag. In attempting to shoot this requested video, we noticed that the mode had changed from standard video mode to low light on its own. Later attempts to capture more such videos had similar issues with the device switching itself from standard video mode to panoramic shot all by itself.
Additionally, on the Mimo app, not on the device directly, I repeatedly got SD card errors which alternated between saying that there was either an issue with the SD card or that there was no SD card inserted when there was.
Mimo Osmo 7 update saving grace?
In between my back & forth with their customer service, DJI announced the Osmo 7 gimbal, & a related update hit the Mimo app. At first I was excited, hoping that they had patched the Samsung compatibility issues with this update. However, after updating, things were not better but worse, with even video playback being extremely hit or miss & connection stability worse than ever.
My attempted fixes
I’m not a tech noob, so I know the basics. I performed both a factory reset of the Pocket 3 as well as clearing the Mimo caches &, when that didn’t work, a complete uninstall/reinstall of the Mimo app. However, nothing had any effect on the issues above.
Not optimized for Samsung
In conducting some online research to try to determine the cause and fix for these issues. it seems apparent that most of the people with who have issues with this camera are users of Samsung & other Android devices. It seems that DJI does not care about Samsung users. This is made apparent by the fact that they have released the Mimo app directly on the Apple App Store, whereas Android users must download an APK file instead of using the more regulated Google Play store. Given that DJI is a Chinese company, & China’s most popular phones are not iPhones but Androids, it really makes me wonder why they would choose to prioritize iPhone users instead.
Why I bought the DJI Pocket 3
I had gone from being a longtime Samsung user (even when I worked for Apple) to trying to use an iPhone 13 Pro Max here in Japan, since most people use iPhones here, but I only lasted a few months before selling that iPhone & buying a Samsung Flip 6. I bought the Pocket 3 during that period because I was extremely dissatisfied with the iPhone. Apart from the extreme inconvenience of iPhones missing a multitude of basic features (quick launchers/clipboard/dual-screening to name a few). the native iPhone camera is just disgusting. Often applying a strange orange filter to everything, especially pictures of people. Of course, you can try to use iPhone’s other filters, but rather than fixing issues, those tend to make people look dull/ruddy. I actually can’t even recognize myself in a lot of iPhone shot pictures or video. I look fine & like myself in Samsung-shot pictures. Polaroid pictures are very popular here in Japan, & I like fine/like myself in those as well. iPhone pictures just do not look like me. I’m not the only one saying this There are more multitudes of videos across social media complaining of the same thing, saying that the iPhone camera is not designed for people especially the internal camera. Not enough people are talking about this but the iPhone’s cameras have gotten so bad that many are choosing to buy vintage digital cameras rather than use the iPhone camera. It was due to issues like this, but I decided I needed an entirely separate camera. which is why I bought the Pocket 3. It was a nice fix that I continued to use even after buying my Samsung Flip 6 until these latest Mimo updates broke it.
Still waiting on a resolution
It seems unlikely that. I will be able to continue using the DJI Pocket 3. My conversations with customer support are not giving me a lot of confidence. They say they want to pull the logs, which I have no problem with, but does not seem to indicate that they can or will do anything for me directly. It might be for the benefit of Samsung users somewhere in the distant future. Emphasis on “Might.” However, it seems likely that it won’t solve my immediate issues. While you can transfer the files from the Pocket 3 to a device directly without the Mimo app, any sort of filters will not be applied. Everything must be done through the Mimo app if you wish to use them. I do not want to buy a new iPhone so that I can continue using this Pocket 3, which I really don’t need now that I have a Samsung phone again. While I have an old iphone without service laying around, I do not want to carry it around with me just to transfer files to it, then fiddle around with hotspots/SIM-cards to send it to a cloud & then download it to my Samsung. It’s just such an extreme time-wasting inconvenience. The Pocket 3 was fine when I had a lousy iPhone, but now that I have a Samsung phone again, I simply don’t have much need for this camera anymore as it is, let alone with the added extreme inconvenience of having to move video files between 3 just devices just to have any use of it. I have asked if DJI will provide me a refund. I am awaiting their reply as of this writing.
