Apps: make your own emojis
Do these emoji maker apps get a smiley face from us?
Moji Maker
£1.99, Apple
Can’t find a graphic to express your feelings? Make your own: from hundreds of templates supplied, fine-tune your design and add it to the keyboard used by the Messages app on your iPhone or iPad.
Bitmoji
Free, Android, Apple
Make a personal avatar based on templates, and the app will insert your face into comic scenes. The graphics can then be used in texts, on Snapchat (Snap Inc owns this app) and elsewhere.
Emojily
Free, Android, Apple
You create an emoji as you would in Moji Maker, but you can’t add it to your phone’s main emoji keyboard. It lives in its own keyboard that works with Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp and more.
