Memojis disappeared after iOS 17 upgrade

What I am really looking for is the ability to send a voice recording using my Memoji . Before the update it was on the bar below in between the audio icon and the sticker icon. Still there on one of my iPads that apparently hasn't been updated to IOS17 yet though the auto update button is on.

Just found the answer Champ and it’s more simple than that, thank goodness. Simply press the plus sign next to your message box and it’ll bring up a bunch of added message options. One of them is “STICKERS”. Select it and BAM, all of your emojis and stuff will be there. It’s actually the same process you have to use to send GIFs now. Hope this helps….

Yup, that answer was given 24 pages ago. And on pretty much every page since. I have no faith that people are any more likely to pay attention to it now than when I first posted it on September 21.

Thanks! That finally worked. I’ll add that once you choose stickers, across the top, you choose which type of stickers. When you go to Memoji, all of the images are there, not just the one where you can record just the facial movement one in the other section.

You sound Hurt. The update came for “ME” a couple days ago as I assume it did for the others who are “just now” asking about it so your 24 days ago September 21st post on this issue where you proudly posted the answer 1st understandably has gone unnoticed. Who’s going back 24 pages? Your faith should be lost in the algorithm that doesn’t direct us who are “now” looking for the answer to your post. Lots of people know what a square root is and the explanation is in millions of books around the world but the fact is champ, if you don’t know where to find the book and no one points it out to you then you’re gonna go around asking people over and over what it is until it’s eventually put right in front of your face. You may have answered the question but if we never see it then it doesn’t help us. The more the correct answer gets posted the better the chances people will run across it. I have 9 replies right now that I’ll post that same answer to and hopefully it’ll get out there. It’s just how this thing works Champ. Appreciate it though. Hopefully more people will see your solution….

Glad it helped. Now , I also need a favor. Could you re-post a version of that answer? I just got a notification from Apple saying they struck down the post because I posted the same info. more than once. Multiple people had the same problem so I copy-pasted the answer to a couple more people (literally 2😂) and they blocked me after that. Crazy. I’d appreciate it and hopefully everyone runs across the solution because it’s so annoying. Thanks in advance champ….

Reposting what helped me the most (from MASAIAH504) and me.

OMG I’ve NEVER seen that. That’s nice. I’d be HOT too if I lost those. Don’t know how to get those back. Wish I did. If you ever do figure it out post on how to do it. I’d like to know. I’m a dinosaur I guess🤷🏾

I was relieved to see that this was an issue for so many and that I wasn’t losing my mind or eyesight. With help of threads was able to find my MeEmojis. Start a new text to yourself. Hit plus sign to left of white box that you type text message in and then hit sticker and edit or done. If do not see emoji find one first and after first time it will save in history when hit sticker. Slower but works

Great. Apple takes a perfectly simple process and makes it complicated.

Or, Apple takes a process that confused and annoyed most people and moved it out of the way. Sadly, Apple can't please everyone all of the time.

I read all of the above, then tapped around, 1) Opened a new text message; 2) selected the + key at bottom left; 3) selected MORE (well below STICKIES); then further down to MEMOJI … where I found ONE and only option of my Memoji, versus the multiple that were available before. IMO this is NOT an improvement for two major reasons: difficult to use 3-5 clicks, and only one emotion to convey. So ,,,, why did the KEEP the kazillion other little dinky stickers? Make our Memoji easy to use and the dinky stickers click-centric.

The same happened for me. I got them back for my I messages but not for when I text on my whattsapp. They were there before. How do I get them back on whattsapp??? So frustrating. They were there before.

After reading countless posts regarding this issue, I found one post which works. Press the (+) on the left of a typical text message. The 3rd choice from the top is "Stickers". A band of icons will show up at the top. Scroll right until you see a girl or face emoji. Click on it. Then click on your Memoji face and there should be a drop down of your Memoji icons. Once you use one within a text, the next time you go to the (+) and tap on the Memoji icon, you should see all the Memojis icons. It took me a long time and a lot of trial and error but I finally figured it out. I hope it works for you. Don't give up. You will figure it out.

Open WhatsApp chat. On the right hand corner of this chat box is an icon looks like a document with the bottom right hand corner slightly folded. Click this icon and you will see all your bespoke icons previously showing with your normal emoji.

Open up a text message. Click the (+) on the left side of the text box. 3rd word down is "stickers". Tap on stickers. At the top there are a line of small icons. Find the one of the face. Click on it. Your Memojis will be there. Once you use one, they will all show up but you must do those 3 steps. It took me a lot of research, trial and error but I found them.
