Changing Memoji on iPhone is a fun and exciting way to personalize your messages and express yourself in a unique way. With Memoji, you can create a digital avatar that resembles you or anyone else you want. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to change Memoji on your iPhone.
Step 1: Launch the Messages app
To begin, locate and open the Messages app on your iPhone. This app is represented by a green speech bubble icon.
Step 2: Open an existing conversation or start a new one
Next, select an existing conversation from your list of messages or start a new conversation by tapping on the compose icon, which looks like a square with a pencil inside it.
Step 3: Access the Animoji/Memoji feature
Once you’re in a conversation, look for the App Store icon next to the text input field and tap on it. This will open up the app drawer at the bottom of your screen. Swipe left or right until you find the “Animoji” option and tap on it.
Note: If you don’t see the Animoji option in your app drawer, it’s possible that your device doesn’t support this feature. Animoji is available on iPhone X and later models.
Step 4: Select Memoji
In the Animoji screen, locate and tap on “Memoji” at the bottom center of your screen. This will take you to the Memoji creation screen where you can customize your avatar.
Customizing Your Memoji
Step 5: Edit facial features
On the Memoji creation screen, you’ll find various options to customize your avatar’s facial features such as skin tone, hairstyle, hair color, eyes shape and color, nose shape, lips shape and color, and more. Tap on each feature to explore the available options and select the ones that best represent you.
Step 6: Customize head shape
Below the facial features, you’ll find options to adjust your Memoji’s head shape, including face shape, complexion, and facial hair if desired. Experiment with these settings until you’re satisfied with the look of your Memoji.
Step 7: Add accessories
To make your Memoji even more unique, you can add accessories such as glasses, hats, earrings, and more. Scroll through the accessory options and tap on any that you want to include.
Saving and Using Your Memoji
Step 8: Save your Memoji
Once you’re happy with your customizations, tap on “Done” in the top-right corner of the screen to save your Memoji.
Step 9: Send your Memoji
With your newly created Memoji saved, it’s time to send it to your friends or family. In a conversation thread, tap on the Animoji icon again (the monkey face) in the app drawer.
This will bring up all of your available Memojis. Find yours and tap on it to select it.
Step 10: Record and send a message
After selecting your Memoji, you’ll see a large recording button at the bottom center of the screen. Press and hold this button to start recording a message while animating your Memoji.
Release the button when you’re done recording. You can preview the message by tapping on it before sending it.
