🔥 Top 10 Best 🧙‍♂️ Memoji Applications For 📱 Android Phones

Whether you were born in the ‘80s, ‘90s, or 2000s, we bet cartoons were a big part of your childhood. In fact, for several of you, they hold some of your fondest childhood memories. You’d watch with bated breath as Wile. E Coyote ran after Road Runner or wished you were a mermaid-like Princess Ariel. Then life settles in, and the feeling probably wore off as you grew older. But with the use of the Memoji Android application, all those cartoon dreams you had as a kid can now come true.

What Does The Memoji Android App Do?

The Memoji Android app lets you create custom animated versions of yourself. You’ll pick your eye color, hair color, eyebrows, and more.

So, how exactly does it work? It’s actually really simple. It uses the hardware of the smartphone’s front-facing camera to replicate the facial movements of the user, making it easy to create talking and moving emoji recordings. Now, isn’t that neat?

History Of Memoji

Apple introduced its initial array of Animoji-capable handsets in 2017. Animojis are custom, animated versions of popular emoji characters.

So, now, you might be thinking, I thought we’re talking about Memojis? How did Animojis get into the picture?

Well, here’s your answer—we put them in the picture because Animojis are the “parents” of Memojis. In other words, before there were Memojis, there were Animojis. But before we get to Memojis, we’ve got to know more about Animojis.

To begin with, Animojis are created through Face ID, a facial-recognition feature developed by Apple. Faces are detected using the iPhone’s front-facing camera. A chip inside the iPhone captures and analyses 50 different muscle movements in your face. It then mimics your expressions to produce an Animoji.

Now, here’s the part where we link it all together — in 2018, Apple told the public that they’d be releasing a new version of Animoji called Memoji. Memojis are different than Animojis because with Memojis, you create a custom Animoji—of your own face or the face of anyone you want to impersonate.

Memoji Apps For Android

In case you haven’t realized it by now, we’re here to tell it again for you — the Memoji didn’t originate from an Android device. But, as the Memoji grew rapidly in popularity, smartphone manufacturers began to produce their own versions of Memojis and Animojis using similar technology. One example of this is the Augmented Reality Emoji introduced by Samsung in 2018.

Packaged along with the Galaxy S9/S9+ smartphones, the AR (Augmented Reality) Emoji feature mimics your facial features and movements to produce a 3D avatar that looks exactly like you.

As that was being released, Memoji android apps began to quickly appear on the Google Play Store. They came in such strong, big amounts that it seemed like the Android manufacturers were telling the public—why should only iOS users have all the fun?

Having said that, as more and more custom emoji apps continue to enter the market, it‘s become easier and easier for users to become an easy target for marketing misinformation. We know, we know, nothing hurts more than being betrayed and lied to. And just when you finally discover that the app doesn’t suit your needs, there goes money, time, and effort down the drain!

The Best Memoji Android Apps

Well, that’s where we come in. We know money isn’t easy to come by, and not all of the Memoji android apps out in the market are worth buying. That said, we hope that through this article, we will be able to help you pick apps that deserve a place on your phone.

This entry might really surprise you — but then again, we don’t blame you. Not many are aware of the Gboard Minis keyboard app. An app that has a built-in Memoji/Animoji feature in the form of Minis.

Now, you might be asking, what exactly are “minis?” Minis are short for mini stickers, selfie stickers created through a combination of machine learning, neural networks, and artist illustration, all made up to conjure up the closest representation of you.

Make Your Own Minis

Now, to make your own Mini, all you’ve got to do is download the Google Keyboard from the Google Play store. Once that’s done, go and tap the Minis icon next to the Google icon. Once you’re done with that, tap on Create, and Google will automatically create a character based on your face. It’s really that easy!

Now here’s the fun part—to begin with, the app gives you not one but three different avatars of your face. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg—click on the Show Me button to get an expanded menu of all the different avatars Gboard Minis can create. You’ll see tons of avatars to suit your every whim and fancy.

You finally get to pick your avatar’s hair type, face shape, eyebrows, and basically every physical aspect of your avatar’s body and face. Really cool, huh?

But what makes GBoard Mini truly stand among the rest isn’t its list of facial features. It’s the ability to customize a single avatar based on numerous scenes and stickers and effects.

You’ll never run out of choices because a single avatar already contains 70-80 customizations. There are that many ways to get creative with your mini-me, and the best part of it is that it’s all for FREE! Yes, all the features we mentioned are absolutely free of cost.
