Guide to Using and Sending Memoji Stickers on iOS Devices

Are you ready to liven up your conversations? Memoji stickers on your iPhone enable you to send delightful, personalized mini-versions of yourself in chats. These custom avatars are generated based on your unique facial features, and once they’re created, iOS automatically assembles a diverse sticker pack filled with various expressions and reactions.

These playful avatars represent a modern twist on standard Bitmoji stickers, originally popularized by Snapchat. Memoji adds a unique flair to your Messages, FaceTime calls, and even third-party applications such as WhatsApp. With recent iOS updates, crafting your own Memoji has never been easier.

How to Create Your Memoji

To get started with your first Memoji sticker, follow these simple steps:

Open the Messages app and start a new conversation or select an existing one.
Tap the Plus button at the bottom of the screen, swipe up, or tap More to find Memoji.
Choose Add New to begin customizing your avatar.

Next, personalize your Memoji by selecting options like skin tone, hairstyle, eye shape, clothing, accessories, and more. Once you are satisfied with your creations, click on Done to save. Your Memoji sticker pack will be generated automatically.

For an added layer of fun, explore Genmoji for AI-enhanced elements, combining photos or utilizing the emoji kitchen creatively.

How to Send Memoji Stickers

Sending your customized Memoji stickers is a breeze. Each new Memoji you create comes with a dedicated keyboard that makes it easy to select and send your stickers. To share your Memoji:

Open a chat, and tap the Plus button.
Tap on Stickers, then select the Memoji tab.
Choose a sticker that captures your mood and either tap send or drag it into the message bubble.

Moreover, you can extend the fun by using Memoji stickers in other messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger. Simply switch to the iOS emoji keyboard and scroll to the sticker section to find your Memoji among other stickers.

Engaging with Animated Memoji in Messages and FaceTime

Apple is continuously enhancing the Memoji experience. If your iPhone is equipped with Face ID, you can now leverage animated Memoji:

In Messages:

Tap Plus, swipe up, and select your Memoji.
Hit Record to capture your expressions and voice for up to 30 seconds.

Once you’re done, tap Drop to send the clip or use it as a sticker.

In FaceTime:

During a call, press Effects and select your Memoji to replace your face with the animated avatar in real time, making conversations engaging and lively.

Managing and Editing Your Memoji Stickers

To edit or manage your stickers, open the Messages app and navigate to the Memoji section. Select a Memoji, and tap the More option to choose from Edit, Duplicate, or Delete.

If you wish to disable Memoji stickers entirely, go to Settings → General → Keyboard and toggle off Stickers.

Additional Tips for Your Memoji Experience:

Sync stickers via iCloud to access your emojis from anywhere.
Create multiple Memojis to showcase different looks and moods.
Take advantage of the keyboard’s auto-suggestion feature for Memojis based on your typing context.
