Delete a personal Memoji

I created a personal Memoji long ago and thought I had deleted it but it still appears on others phones when I call them. How can I delete it forever? Thanks

You can delete the Memoji, but if you have it set as your Contact Card it will continue to display to others when you call. To change your Contact Card, open Contacts > [your name] > Contact Photo and Poster > Edit > Swipe left to select or create a new one. Just make sure Share Automatically is set to Contacts only, so you won’t have to manually update for each contact, instead it will automatically do so. Then you can delete the Memoji in Messages > Select any thread > Tap the + > Tap Stickers > Tap the Memojis icon in the bar > Tap the 3 dots on your Memoji and Delete.
