How To Make Memoji , Use And Edit

In recent years, the Animoji and Memoji features have fueled that trend. Animoji uses animal and other object icons (poop, for example) as primary motifs. Memoji — derived from the word me — extended Animoji features to avatars that you can create to look very much like you or someone you know, kind of like Bitmoji. With Animoji and Memoji you control what your friends and contacts see when they connect with you.

This whole Animoji madness started with the iPhone X and the debut of the Animoji feature in iOS 11. Memoji emerged in iOS 12 as a cross between Animoji and avatars, but it only worked in more recent iPhone models built with TrueDepth cameras that could mimic your facial expressions and head movements. That was a bummer for people who hung on to their older handsets. Now, with iOS 13, even if you have an older device, you too can have your very own Memoji. The following Memoji were built on an iPhone 6S.

With iOS 13, Memoji are available on older iPhones that don’t have advanced cameras by automatically generating Memoji Sticker packs that anyone can use in Messages, Mail, and third-party apps. Memoji stickers also work with Animojis so that all Memoji and Animoji get sticker packs in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. Even though these Memojis are static, there are 24 varieties in the pack that let you customize the emotion you want to express with your avatar. The Memoji feature’s improvements in iOS 13 offer new options for skin color, facial hair, makeup, hair styles and accessories. Sliders with skin and hair controls let you create unique color combinations for your Memoji. New accessories like earrings, body piercings, eye wear, headgear, and even Apple AirPods complete your signature look.

How to use your Memoji on an iPhone with a TrueDepth camera

First open the App Drawer in the iMessage window, then select the Animoji icon, and find your Memoji.

There you can record a 30 seconds.

Once you’re done, you can tap on the record button again to end the recording — but it will only appear if you haven’t used the full 30 seconds. You can then watch it playback once, and choose to watch it again by tapping on Replay above your Memoji. If you’re not happy with it, you can tap on the garbage icon and delete it and try again or you can send it, by tapping on the blue arrow.

You can also add your Memoji into photos you take through the camera in iMessage. Once the front-facing camera is open, you can overlay your Memoji onto your own head, snap the photo, and send it. And for FaceTime also its same in video chat with someone , you can use the Memoji to live video.
