Answered by Ricardo McCardle

To create a new Memoji, you can follow these steps:

1. Open iMessage: Launch the iMessage app on your iPhone or iPad. It’s the green icon with a white speech bubble.

2. Access Memoji Stickers: Once you’re in iMessage, tap on the App Store icon, which looks like an “A” next to the text input field. This will open the iMessage app drawer. From there, locate the Memoji Stickers icon, which resembles a monkey, and tap on it.

3. Create a new Memoji: Within the Memoji Stickers menu, you’ll see a variety of pre-existing Memojis at the bottom. To create a new one, tap on the “+” (plus) icon.

4. Customize your Memoji: Now you can start personalizing your avatar. You’ll find a range of options to modify its appearance. Let’s explore some of the main customization categories:

– Skin: Choose the skin tone that best represents you. There are various options available, allowing you to match your Memoji to your own complexion.

– Hairstyle and Color: Select your preferred hairstyle from the available options. You can also choose the color of your hair, including natural shades or more adventurous ones.

– Head Shape: Adjust the shape of your Memoji’s head to resemble your own. You can make it rounder, squarer, or somewhere in between.

– Eyes: Customize the shape, color, and size of your Memoji’s eyes. You can make them bigger, change the iris color, and even add eyelashes if desired.

– Eyebrows: Choose the shape and color of your Memoji’s eyebrows. There are various styles available, ranging from thin to thick, and different colors to match your hair.

– Nose and Lips: Modify the size, shape, and color of your Memoji’s nose and lips to closely resemble your own features.

– Ears: Adjust the size and position of your Memoji’s ears as per your preference.

– Facial Hair: If applicable, you can add facial hair to your Memoji, such as a beard, mustache, or goatee. Customize the style and color to match your own.

– Accessories: There are plenty of accessories you can add to your Memoji, including glasses, hats, earrings, and more. Explore the options available and select what suits your style.

5. Fine-tune details: Once you have customized the main features of your Memoji, you can further refine its appearance. Tap on the “…” (three dots) icon to access additional options. Here, you can adjust details like head shape, skin age, facial lines, and even add freckles.

6. Save your Memoji: Once you’re satisfied with your Memoji creation, tap on “Done” to save it. Your Memoji will now be available in the Memoji Stickers menu for you to use in iMessage conversations.
