There's Finally a Way to Disable Those Annoying Memoji Stickers in Messages on iPhone

There's a lot to love about iOS 13. Permanent Memoji stickers though? Not so much. Whether you love or hate these personalized icons, most of us can probably agree it's super annoying Apple doesn't let you disable them in the "Frequently Used" section of the Emoji keyboard. Every time you go to use an emoji, you have to see the stickers, whether you want to or not. That is, until now.

You see, iOS 13.3, currently in beta, introduces a new option that disables Memoji and Animoji stickers in the Emoji keyboard. Just head to Settings –> General –> Keyboard, then disable the toggle next to "Memoji Stickers" at the bottom.

If you miss Memoji stickers in the Emoji keyboard, you can re-enable this feature at any time. That said, you can always access Memoji stickers from the app drawer, which, in this writer's humble opinion, is a much better place for them anyway.
