How To Create and Customize Memoji

The Apple’s iPhone X launched last year came with lots of new features. These new features of iPhone X running on iOS 12 includes; a feature called Screen Time  (Group Facetime) that lets you know how often you use certain apps on your device and above all Animoji, the iPhone X’s depth-sensing, front-facing camera that helps you capture your facial movements and uses them to animate one of the popular emoji on iOS (Memoji).

What is Memoji?

Memoji are animated humans instead of animated emojis. With this feature, you can create a character that resembles you or you can even decide to put up something that resembles your favorite celebrity or idol.
This feature embedded on the iOS 12 never limits you to creating only your facial features as it gives you all the tools you need to create your own avatar unlike what can be noted on the Samsung Galaxy later models.

Step 16: Now the Memoji has been added to your Animoji App. When you smile, it smiles. When you stick your tongue out, it sticks its tongue out. It’s kind of amazing. A little animated version of you and it will stay alongside popular options such as the unicorn and poop on the Animoji App on your iOS 12 device.  You can create as many Memoji as per desire.

Note that Memoji is only available to make if you have the TrueDepth camera system. That means your older iPhone won’t make it. However, you’ll be able to receive Memoji in the form of a video, but you won’t be able to make your own. The iPhones that can make Memoji are the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, and XR.

Among other noted features of Memoji is that you can even take a photo with your Memoji overlayed on your IRL face. All you need do is to click the camera button in any iMessage, click the star icon in the bottom left corner, hit the Animoji icon, and choose your Memoji!
