Okay, put down the Apple default and grab a third-party app. PicCollage is the chaotic good of the collage world. It lets you add stickers, text, and backgrounds that scream “I’m quirky” without trying too hard. Want a neon pink border around your dog’s face? Done. Want to add a unicorn sticker? You better believe it. The app is free, but it will ask you to pay for a “premium rainbow filter” about every 12 seconds. Just hit “X” and keep going.
Then there’s Canva, which is basically a design degree in your pocket. It has templates for “Aesthetic,” “Funny,” and “Pretentious Black and White.” The learning curve is gentle: tap a layout, drag your photos in, and pretend you’re a magazine editor. The best part? Canva lets you add a transparent background so your collage can float on any color. It’s like sorcery, but legal.
