Create Memoji Stickers
Not only does the new Big Sur Messages app offer the ability to use Memoji Stickers, but you can even customize them right from your Mac, and it may even be easier and more fun to do on the larger screen.
- In Messages, click on the “Apps” icon to the left of the text entry field.
- Click on “Memoji Stickers”
- From the pop-up window showing your current Memoji Sticker collection, click on the ellipsis (three dots) button in the top-right corner.
- Choose “Edit” to edit your current Memoji Sticker, “Duplicate” to create a new one based on the current one, or “New Memoji” to begin creating a whole new sticker from scratch.
Note that your Memoji Stickers aren’t just confined to sending out directly as new messages — you can also drag and drop any sticker from the Memoji panel to slap it on top of an existing message, just like you can do on your iPhone or iPad.
Sadly, one thing that hasn’t come to the Mac yet is the iMessage App Store, which means you won’t be able to use any other types of stickers on your Mac, although third-party stickers sent from the iPhone will still show up just fine on your Mac. You can even click on the “Sticker by…” link to open an App Store preview page, but you won’t be able to download the stickers using Big Sur, even on an M1-equipped Mac. That said, it does give us some hope that Apple will be bringing stickers and other iMessage apps to the Mac soon.
