Create and send Memoji in Messages on iPhone

You can design your own personalized Memoji—choose skin tone, glasses, body, and more. You can create multiple Memoji to use in different contexts. Each Memoji—even the ones you create—automatically generates a range of poses and expressions. On supported models, you can send animated Memoji messages that record your voice and mirror your facial expressions.
