There are a ton of features in iOS, but our favorite is Memoji. You have the ability to express yourself more accurately. Here’s how to create and use Memoji.
While Apple strives to make its mobile devices useful, it has been known to mix in a zany streak to supercharge interest in the latest OS. 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. Animoji started with the iPhone X, but it initially only worked on iPhone models with TrueDepth cameras that could mimic your facial expressions and head movements. That’s because it uses your device’s Face ID to facilitate the creation and recording of animated messages that look remarkably like you. Of course, that was a bummer for people who hung on to their older handsets. But since iOS 13, even if you have an older device, you too can have your very own Memoji. 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.
