iOS users practically consider themselves the “Lucky Ones”. Why? The endless cool features speak for themselves. Take the Memoji feature, for example. It’s basically a cartoon-you, a 3D little version that copies your face in real time. It even does small tricks like dancing when the phone rings, talking back during voice memos, and makes texting way more fun.

Honestly, it’s hard not to make one. Even if you never keep it as your profile pic, you’ll still want to see what your iPhone Memoji would look like, so let’s dig in so you can learn how to make a Memoji.

What is a Memoji?

If you’ve used Snapchat, you’ll get this fast. Memoji is kind of Apple’s version of Bitmoji, or even Animoji, but with a lot more polish and personality.

It first showed up back in iOS 12, and people haven’t stopped talking about it since. Basically, it’s a customizable avatar you can tweak to look like you (or even someone else, if you want to get creative).

Apple not just made sure to make it easy for you to figure out how to make a Memoji, but also be able to use it in a bunch of different ways. For example, if you send a voice note, your Memoji will move its mouth in sync with what you said, turning that simple voice note into a little animated show.
