Apple shows off new Memoji beauty and accessory options at WWDC 2019
During Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) Monday, Apple delivered for people trying to upgrade their Memoji lewk. In iOS 13, Memoji users will be able to trick out their avatars with new hair color, hats, makeup, piercings, and even… customized teeth.
Apple is also turning your Memoji into an in-keyboard sticker pack. So you can use your animated Memoji while FaceTiming or to deliver voice messages, and your static cutesy likeness as reaction stickers in messages.
Plus, any iOS device with an A9 chip and above will be able to view the cute lil’ creatures.
Apple first introduced Memoji at its 2018 WWDC. In comparison to Bitmoji, Memoji has been way more limited in the ways users could customize their avatars. Now with more fun looks, and a sticker pack that Apple conveniently slots right into the keyboard, Apple’s animated characters are giving Bitmoji a run for their money.

Apple used two charismatic “beauty influencers” (in Memoji form!) to introduce the new personalization features. The piercings, hair color, hats, glasses, and freaking tooth gap options are pretty fun.
The coup de grâce came from Apple’s introduction of the ultimate accessory: AirPods.
Happy accessorizing!
