In iOS 13, Apple allows you to create a standardized iMessage profile that includes your name and photo - or an Animoji/Memoji - which accompanies the messages you send to friends so that they know who you are.
The idea behind the new feature is that contacts in the Messages become more easily identifiable, similar to the way WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger contacts have recognizable profile pictures.
If you choose to use a Memoji as your profile pic, you`ll be happy to learn that iOS 13 also provides options for customizing it, including pre-selected poses and background colors.
