MAKE SOMETHING TINY Optional Studio Unlock adds a native 16×16 editor inside Messages. Start with a blank grid or make one of 45 tiny templates your own.

KEEP YOUR LITTLE IDEAS Save multiple named drafts, reopen them later, and duplicate a favorite starting point. Drawings save on this device as you edit. Export anything you want to keep before deleting the app; restoring a purchase restores the tools, not deleted artwork or drawings on another device. ONE UNLOCK. YOUR WHOLE STUDIO.
