IF you have an iPhone with iOS 12 software or later and Face ID you can create fun Memoji to share with your friends.
Memojis are basically just personalised animated emoji that can copy your facial expressions and be sent via iMessage or FaceTime.
First you need to open your Messages app and click the compose button in the top right hand corner.
Then tap the Memoji button near the bottom of the screen that looks like an emoji head in a yellow square.
Then swipe right and click the big blue plus sign that says “New Memoji” underneath.
Here you’ll be able to customise your Memoji to look just like you, if you so wish, including skin tone, hair colour and accessories.
Click “Done” when you’re finished.
You can also use Memoji characters that are already setup for you like a unicorn and a shark.
Just swipe to the left in the Memoji creation section to see all your options.
You can use Memoji for lots of things like animating your feelings in a message, creating stickers or on FaceTime.
You can also use your Memoji as emoji stickers on iOS 13 and later.
You can find the stickers option to the right of the icon that lets you create new Memoji in Messages.
Select which sticker you would like and then just click send.
To send an animated Memoji in Messages you need to open the relevant chat and click on the Memoji button.
Then you can select your Memoji and click the red circle to record how you want to animate it.
Click to stop when you’re done and either send it or delete and start the process again.
It’s possible to become another Memoji in the same recording if you swipe through your options but bear in mind the recording can only be 30 seconds long.
To use Memoji in FaceTime click the Effects button during your call and select the Memoji you want to be, it looks a bit like a five sided flower/star and should be at the bottom of the screen.
The Memoji you select will take over your face in the FaceTime call.
You can click the ‘X’ at anytime to remove the Memoji.
