How Memoji Work

You can design a Memoji sticker easily on your iOS device (more below). Once created, you’ll have a customized sticker pack of your Memoji self that you can send to your friends or family on iMessage or any other messaging platform. It’s a fun and creative way to express your feelings instead of a traditional emoji or thumbs up/down sign. Memoji are unique and can be made to represent you and add creativity to your messages. Memoji also work alongside regular emoji, meaning they have their own keyboard that you can easily access from any app. You don’t have to go out of your way to send a Memoji sticker, which is another added advantage. Setting up a Memoji is very easy; simply follow the steps below:

  3. Click on the Memoji icon in the top bar above the keyboard.

  4. Click on the three dots on the left side.

  5. Click on “Edit” to make changes or “Create New Memoji” to start from scratch.

Once finished, simply tap on Done in the top-right corner.
