How to put your face on your AirPods case with Apple’s free Memoji engraving
Apple started offering free engraving with the second-generation AirPods in 2019 and added emoji in early 2020. But did you know that with free Memoji engraving, you can put your own face on your AirPods? Here's where the option is and how to get to it.
If you go to Apple's website to order a new pair of AirPods or AirPods Pro, you can choose to have them engraved. This includes being able to use the alphabet, numbers, and more than 40 emoji.
Apple added the ability to engrave Memoji on AirPods with the AirPods Pro 2 model. This can only be done through the Apple Store app.
In the release notes for version 5.18, Apple just mentioned the Memoji engraving feature that is unique to this app. But in September, when the AirPods Pro 2 came out, there was a small mention of the new feature.
How to engrave AirPods with Memoji
- Open the Apple Store app (free download)
- Search for AirPods or AirPods Pro
- Near the top under “Personalize them for free,” tap Add Engraving
- Tap the text box > now tap the Memoji tab just above the emoji
