Mobile Tip: Change Your Emoji Skin Tone and Gender – It’s Easy!

Whether you’re texting your family, sharing photos, or sending a smiley face to brighten someone’s day, emojis are a fun way to express yourself. And here’s the good news: you can change their skin tone and gender so they match you perfectly.

Not sure how? Don’t worry! FreedomPop is here to walk you through it, step by step. It’s simple, and you can do it in just a few taps.

Why Customize Your Emojis?

Emojis are those little faces, thumbs ups, and funny characters you use when texting. By changing their look to match your own skin tone or gender, you can make your messages feel more personal and fun. Whether you’re sending a thumbs up 👍, a wave 👋, or a hug 🤗, you can show a version of you!

How to Change Emoji Skin Tone on Your Phone

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open your emojis while you’re texting or typing.
  2. Press and hold an emoji with a skin tone, like the thumbs up 👍 or a waving hand 👋.
  3. A row of skin tone options will appear from light to dark.
  4. Tap the skin tone you like best, and the emoji will change!

Now when you use that emoji, it will stay in your favorite skin tone unless you change it again.

Changing Gender for Emojis

Some emojis, like doctors, runners, or dancers, can also be set to a male option or female option. Here’s how:

  1. Pick an emoji, like the person running 🏃.
  2. Press and hold the emoji.
  3. You’ll see different versions – most will have male, female, or neutral.
  4. Tap the one that feels most like you.

That’s it! Your emoji is now you in action. 🕺💃
