Personal Memojis disappeared after iOS 17 update

Hi Move2It,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. Your Memojis may have been removed from the app drawer. You can add them back using the following guidance from Use iMessage apps on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support.

"Manage iMessage apps

You can add apps to your Favorites so you have quick access to them in the app drawer. You can also reorder apps in the app drawer, remove the ones you don’t want, and more. Here’s how:

1. From the app drawer, swipe left and tap the More button .
2. Tap Edit in the upper-left corner to do the following:

• To add an app to your Favorites, tap the Add button .
• To remove an app from Favorites, tap the Remove button , then tap Remove from Favorites.
• To reorder apps in the app drawer, touch and hold the gray lines , then move the apps in the order that you want.
• To hide an app, turn it off.

3. Tap Done."

Take care.

I’ve read you can create one with a photo but that’s not what I want

Tap on the "+" next to the text entry box. Memoji are under "Stickers".

No help there. Disappeared personal emojis.
