Animoji are a fun new way to send messages that are exclusive to the iPhone X. Using the front-facing TrueDepth camera, you use animated versions of Emoji characters to create an up-to-10-second video message, with the Animoji character you choose following your facial movements. Because it records your audio as well, this has the effect of making the Animoji look like it's talking.
Here's how you can create and send your own Animoji on your iPhone X.
How to create and send Animoji
- Open Messages on your iPhone X.
- Tap the conversation in which you'd like to send an Animoji.
Tap the Animoji button in the message app bar at the bottom of the screen.
