What is the use of Memoji on Apple Watch?

Using Memoji on your Apple Watch adds a fun, playful, and personal touch to your user experience. Here’s what all Apple lets you do with Memojis on an Apple Watch:

  • Set personalized watch faces: Unlike the iPhone, where you can’t use a Memoji as the wallpaper, you can create and set a Memoji or Animoji as the custom watch face on your Apple Watch. The inclusion of this animated character adds a fun touch and makes the watch face truly unique to you.
  • Use Memoji stickers in Messages: Like the iPhone, you can use the Memoji stickers in the Messages app on your Apple Watch. This way, you can send expressive stickers that match your Memoji, adding personality to your conversations.
  • Keep Memoji changes synced across devices: Thanks to the Apple ecosystem, any change you make to a Memoji on your Apple Watch syncs across your other Apple devices, saving you the trouble of repeating the process on them.
