Can’t do it on a Series 3 watch, running Watch OS 8.1.
I cannot get the My Memoji watch face to work on my Apple Watch. It is a Series 5 Apple Watch running watchOS 8.1 paired with my iPhone 12 Pro running IOS 15.1.1. I have a previously created memoji that works with my Message app as well as on my new MacBook Pro 26″ with the M1X chip. I have tried to carefully follow your instructions, but all I see in my Memoji watch faces is the purple and white Unicorn, and when I click Add, it adds that Unicorn memoji to my watch faces, with no other choices available. Any thoughts on what I can do to make my memoji work on my Apple Watch?
