iOS 12: How to edit, duplicate, and delete Memoij on iPhone

  1. Open Messages
  2. Tap the animoji icon icon
  3. Find the Memoji you’d like to edit, duplicate, or delete
  4. Tap more icon in the bottom left corner

Here’s how the process looks:

When you’re finished editing, tap Done in the top right corner, or use cancel to revert to the previous design.
