Apple Updating Messages in iOS 13 With User Profiles and Memoji Stickers

[MacRumors]

The Messages app on iOS is gaining a new feature that will let you automatically share your name and photo, or custom Animoji/Memoji, so that your friends can easily identify who is in the thread.

The update comes with far more options for Memoji customization, including new makeup, accessories, eyeshadow, lipstick, piercings, teeth, earrings, hair, hats, glasses, and even AirPods.

You can now also turn your Memoji into stickers, which can then be used across numerous apps like Messages and Mail. Memoji stickers and the Memoji editor will also now be supported for all devices with an A9 chip or later, not just those with TrueDepth cameras.

That will be cool for the first time using it.

Ah yes…Memoji…the next generation of Mii’s on the now-defunct Nintendo Wii is a major discussion feature at a developer conference

What more does it do though? It seemed like it would allow you to share your contact info so that you would be caller IDed by people who havent stored your number. Is that correct?

Can they update it to indicate whether you or they sent the last message in the user list? You know, like Everyone Else?!

Can anyone with access to the beta confirm whether we can quote messages while replying like in WhatsApp and Signal?

I’m trying to get my wife to abandon WhatsApp for iMessage but she won’t do it until they bring that one small but important feature. Really disappointed if that was left out of iOS 13.
