Expressing yourself in digital conversations has reached a whole new level with the introduction of Memoji—a customizable avatar that mirrors your personality and mood. Whether you’re laughing, winking, or giving a thumbs up, Memoji lets you convey emotions like never before. Here’s everything you need to know about creating, using, and deleting Memojis on your Apple device.
What is Memoji?
A Memoji is a personalized avatar that you can create to resemble yourself or someone else. Unlike traditional emojis, Memojis offer a more personalized and expressive way to communicate. With a wide range of customization options, you can tailor your Memoji to reflect your unique features and style.
What are Memoji Stickers?
Memoji Stickers are static cartoon images derived from your Memoji avatar. These stickers allow you to express various emotions and reactions in messages, emails, or other apps, adding a playful touch to your conversations.
How does Memoji work?
Memoji utilizes facial tracking sensors, similar to those used for Face ID, to recognize your facial movements and expressions. While animated Memojis are exclusive to iPhone models equipped with TrueDepth cameras (iPhone X and newer), older devices can still create Memojis and share them as stickers.
Creating a Memoji
Crafting your own Memoji is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these steps to get started:
- Open Messages and tap the Compose button or select an existing conversation.
- Tap the Memoji button, swipe right, and tap the plus sign to create a new Memoji.

Now that you’ve created your Memoji, it’s time to put it to use in your conversations and FaceTime calls. Here are some ways to use your Memoji:

- Tap the Memoji button, choose the Memoji you want to delete, and tap the More button (three dots).
