Your stickers are inside Messages.
Downloaded sticker packs do not appear in the Emoji keyboard, and many sticker apps do not have a regular standalone screen. Follow these four steps to find and use your stickers.

Still can’t find it?
A few things to check
-
Look in Stickers, not Emoji. Sticker packs live in the Messages sticker drawer.
-
Swipe through the icon row. Your downloaded pack may be farther to the left or right.
-
Reopen Messages. After a new download, close and reopen Messages so the pack can appear.
