How to Customize Memoji Sticker for WhatsApp

With iOS 13 updates, Apple enabled the usage of Animoji and Memoji stickers across various apps. Surprisingly, the new Memoji Stickers can be used with WhatsApp as actual WhatsApp Stickers and we have already discussed it. However, many users are unaware of the custom Memoji Stickers they can create and use.

Here is how to send custom Memoji Stickers on WhatsApp from your iPhone.

Send Custom Memoji Expressions

When Apple initially released Animoji for iPhone X, it allowed users to mimic the facial expressions and send it to the iMessage contacts on your iPhone. Using the same, it was possible to record Animoji videos, Animoji Stickers and even AR Videos with Animoji faces on your iPhone. The all-new Memoji has expanded it to the custom looking faces and you can even create one with your own face.

If you are using iMessage to text your friends or family, it is quite easy to create iMessage Stickers with Animoji or Memoji by using your live facial expression. The same feature allows you to record Animoji or Memoji videos. However, there is no such feature available for other third-party apps including WhatsApp. The new Memoji Keyboard on iOS 13 allows you to use custom face expressions on Memoji and use them as WhatsApp Stickers.

You cannot just capture the face expression and send it to your contacts. You will have a fixed set of 24 different expressions under each Memoji. Since most of them resemble the mostly used emojis, you can directly use them that resemble your current mood instead of emojis.

The Stickers that are being sent to the Android devices can also be saved and reused without an iPhone as well. So, if you have an Android smartphone, it is also possible to create custom Memoji Stickers and use it directly from your Android smartphone by favoriting them.
