iOS 16 Brings New Features for Memoji

[MacRumors]

With each new major operating system update, Apple continues to improve the Memoji characters that are available in the Messages app and across iOS, and iOS 16 is no exception. There are several new Memoji customization options that Memoji fans should be aware of.

Apple has added six new Memoji sticker poses, including a chef's kiss, a yawn, hands below the chin, dizzy with birds, and more.

There are 17 new and updated hairstyles to work with, including curly styles and updates to box braids and tight curl styles, along with a new bonnet option in the hat section.

There are quite a few new nose options, and a few additional neutral lip colors to choose from.

Apple has also made it possible to use any of the Memoji stickers as your contact image, opening up a number of new options. In iOS 15, only a selection of facial poses worked as a contact image, but in iOS 16, all of the stickers are available.

It's a shame that you still cannot customize the quick access buttons on Lock Screen (camera and flashlight);
some of you may submit a feedback to apple too, regarding this downer ;-)

Especially camera is ridiculous since camera can be opened by a single left-swipe

Enhancements to iPhone’s creepiest feature!

I still can't believe that Apple doesn't allow you to generate Memoji from a selfie. Back in 2010 Nintendo let you create Miis with the 3DS camera.

Every time I've tried creating a Memoji it either ends up looking like a 13 year old or a 60 year old.

None of these noses look anything like the sun dial on my face.

 

[bluespider]

Secretly love memoji’s but Apple seriously needs to create a standalone app to work with these

 

[PilotWoo]

Apple should turn off this nonsense.

This will keep my wife and children busy for summer

You have to use the Cyrano de Dvorak keyboard.

I like the talk to the hand one.

How much storage do all these take up? I’m guessing not a lot since they are small but I have no use for any of them. Is there a way to remove all this bloat?

How about devote more time elsewhere - like for Apple TV or AirPower or anything else!

Apple could afford putting time and money on all the features simultaneously. They just choose not to, just to spite us probably since they can get away with it.

But memoji is good for business. It keeps young people happy with iPhones. And not only young people use memojis. It's not a bad decision on Apple's part.

Yet won’t be released until fall

We need this memoji.

Has anyone else done the same, even on PC? Perhaps Nintendo is privy to some darrrrk arts.

You can create longer clips than you can in iMessage with the “Clips” app.

They really need to change the length of the Memoji's arms. They're too long and it looks creepy.

 

[Adamantoise]

Lol imagine working on this as a software developer.

Glad to see some more nose and lip options coming. The current lineup of cartoon facial features barely represents the diversity of noses and lips out there. I hardly recognize anyone when they use their Memojis. I'm happy that Apple is prioritizing the right issues.

If you want to reflect even only 50% of all of the facial features and combinations out there, it's a lifetime task for a bunch of developers. If Apple needs personalized Memojis for their younger target audience, they'd better implement the solution mentioned above: Create a true personal emoji from a picture/selfie!

Apple is aggressively marketing their neural engines - let the machine do the dirty work! Keep a couple of standard faces for other emojis, but save the developer's sanity and assign them tasks they can actually complete in a reasonable amount of time.

Secretly? Your avatar is one wearing a mask. I never even did that in real life. 😆

That actually needs to be a feature.

Memojis

Just think: someone, somewhere, probably makes a 6-figure salary to come up with this stuff.

Is anyone else seeing this?
1. Sniffing my fingers
2. Oh wow, that wasn't good, here you smell them
3. Do you dare me to lick them?
4. Silent but deadly
5. Boogers taste good.
6. Too much tequila
