Do you have an Android phone and are jealous of your iPhone-owning friends sending custom emojis based on their faces? It's called Memoji, and there are ways to get a similar feature on Android.
Today's article will introduce you to different methods and apps to use Memoji on Android.
Bring Memoji to Android with these 7 apps
Memoji is the name of a feature on Apple's iPhone that allows users to create emojis that look like themselves. You can build from different categories like hairstyle, eyes, head shape, etc. to make it your own Memoji.
You can then send this Memoji in iMessage to entertain friends and family. Memoji also uses the iPhone's True Depth camera to come to life, matching the user's facial expressions and mouth movements.
There's no way to get an exact copy of Memoji for Android, but here are methods that will help you achieve something close to the same thing. If you have an iPhone, check out Quantrimang.com 's guide on how to create and use Memoji .
You may be familiar with Bitmoji if you use Snapchat , as both apps are owned by the same company. Bitmoji lets you create a full-body cartoon avatar.
You can scan your face and Bitmoji will automatically generate physical features. Alternatively, try building your character from scratch. Once you're done, you can choose your outfit and see your avatar in all sorts of different situations.
Bitmoji integrates directly into Snapchat, of course, but conveniently, it also appears in Gboard's Stickers tab . This means you don't have to switch apps while texting. Just send a Bitmoji like any other sticker.

Samsung AR Emoji is available on the Galaxy S9 and S10, Note 9 and 10, and even on the S8 (with limited capabilities).
To use it, launch the Camera app and switch to the front camera. Tap AR Emoji from the camera modes at the top. Then select the blue Create My Emoji button and take a selfie. Go through the steps of choosing a gender, customizing the outfit, etc. Tap OK when you're done.
When using the selfie camera, AR Emoji will appear as an option at the bottom, along with other filters. You can take photos and videos of emojis that mirror your movements. This feature is not available on the S8.
You can also choose from a range of stickers and GIFs featuring your emoji in various poses, perfect for illustrating fun reactions. These can be overlaid on photos or sent via the default keyboard in messaging apps.
Facebook offers the most comprehensive features for Meta avatars. Once you create a Facebook avatar, you can use it in Messenger, comments, posts, and even as your profile picture. What’s more, Facebook lets you share your avatar stickers with other platforms — making it a top Memoji alternative for Android.
You can use this feature to share the sticker to your file manager or Google Drive. This way, you will have the sticker file ready to use on other messaging platforms. You can even use it to create your own Telegram stickers.
You can create an Instagram profile from scratch or sync your Facebook profile. Note that syncing is different from linking your Instagram and Facebook accounts. Once you sync your Facebook and Instagram profiles, your Facebook name will appear on Instagram. You can then choose to sync your profile photo and avatar.
Here's how you can sync your Instagram and Facebook profiles:
You can sync your avatar by tapping on your avatar in the same window. At that point, you can use your Instagram avatar in stories and direct messages.
While WhatsApp avatars use the same engine as Instagram and Facebook, syncing isn’t an option. You’ll have to create your WhatsApp avatar from scratch. Once you do, your WhatsApp avatar stickers will automatically appear in your sticker section as a pack.
You can share your avatar sticker pack with others or use your avatar to create a profile picture. Alternatively, you can skip creating a WhatsApp avatar and use your Facebook avatar in WhatsApp.
MojiPop is an app that turns your face into a hand-drawn cartoon, then applies it to countless scenes and stickers. If you've ever wondered how you could look like you're sitting on a planet, dancing with a cat, or in a famous painting, MojiPop can help you make that wish come true.
The stickers are rich and animated, based on themes like friends, travel, love, and seasonal activities like Halloween. Some content is locked and requires a payment to use, but there's also a lot of free content to try out. You can create up to 3 different emoji avatars.
MojiPop has its own keyboard, but it doesn't offer much value in terms of usage. Instead, you can share emojis directly from the app itself, sending them straight to your gallery or to other apps like WhatsApp and Facebook .
Download MojiPop (Free, premium version available).
EMOJI Face Recorder is the iPhone's equivalent of the Animoji feature. It doesn't let you turn your own face into an emoji like Memoji, but the article includes this tool here as an alternative.
Instead, the app lets you choose from a variety of fun creatures and emojis, like a unicorn or a sunglasses emoji, and then mimics your facial movements. Just start and the tool will copy your facial gestures.
You can also change the background color of the recording. For example, you can have an octopus face floating in space.
The face tracking isn’t great. While head and mouth movements are captured well, some movements, like eye blinks, are a bit off. Still, for a little fun, EMOJI Face Recorder is pretty good.

While these apps offer a similar experience to Memoji, they are not exact replicas. If they don't satisfy you and you want official Memoji on Android, there is a workaround: WhatsApp.
You'll need to use someone else's iPhone to create your Memoji. Then, send the Memoji sticker to yourself on WhatsApp. On your Android phone, tap each Memoji sticker and select Add to favorites .
To use a Memoji in WhatsApp, tap the emoji icon to the left of the message field. Then, under Favorites , tap the Memoji sticker you want to send.
These Memoji will be available to send to anyone from your WhatsApp stickers section. You can't easily use them in other messaging apps or customize them without going back to your iPhone, but "a squiggly mess is better than nothing." It's one of many cool WhatsApp tips and tricks.
Hopefully you have found a method to create your own suitable emoji. Now, you can send it to everyone in your contact list!
Hope you find the right tool!
