How do I recover deleted custom face emojies on iPad and iPhone?

I accidentally deleted on my iPad and iPhone the custom face emojies you can make or personalize. Now I just see the different animals and stuff. I don’t see the different faces anymore. I thought I deleted the face I was trying to create.

Sounds like you are referring to Memojis. Once deleted they cannot be recovered, meaning you’ll have to recreate them.


To create a new one, open Messages > Tap

the + on the left above the keyboard > Scroll down to tap Memoji > Swipe right to tap the + > Have fun and create a Memoji!

Thank
you for answering my question, but I didn’t mean that I created an emoji and then deleted it. It’s that I deleted all the different faces and eyes and hair all those emojis . I am not sure if I don’t know if there is a way to get that back.

I don't think you can delete the Memoji features such as skin, hairstyle etc.
