What Is A Memoji?

A Memoji is Apple’s animated version of an emoji. But unlike an emoji, Memoji are highly customizable. You can tweak everything in a Memoji’s face from the shape of their nose, ears, and lips to their skin color, piercings, and hair styles.

What Are Memoji Used For?

Unlike emojis, which are supported by virtually all messaging apps (and other apps, too), Memoji are primarily designed to be used within the Messages and FaceTime apps on iPhone and iPad.

You can insert a Memoji into a Messages conversation, so it basically appears as a big sticker in the convo. But you can also use a Memoji in place of your real face in a FaceTime call on iPhones and iPads that support Face ID.

This last use of Memoji are particularly cool.

Memoji Aren’t Just Big Faces

Many people think Memoji are limited to just being big faces. But you can actually dress your Memoji from the neck down, filling out the Memoji’s body a bit more. Still, most people will stick to only customizing a Memoji’s face.

But adding clothing to your Memoji can really make it stand out. Apple has made dozens of Memoji clothing available and most, if not all, let you customize what the Memoji’s clothing looks like too.
