Can anyone explain to me the draw behind the Animoji? While the underlying technology has potential, did it have to manifest itself this way?

- pat2man 9y agoA lot of people like the idea of communicating via video but don’t like how hey look. Animoji gives them something in between. Snapchat masks offer something similar.
- MBCook 9y agoThey can also be fun because you can make jokes based on the character you’re using.
- notheguyouthink 9y agoI actually love it. However for me, I like using it as a personal emoji. I don't talk, and I wish it didn't come with sound. It also wigs out pretty hard on my glasses, so I'd like to see some improvement there. I bought the iPhoneX thinking I'd hate that feature - but after using it, it's just goofy good fun as an emoji.
- m_st 9y agoI have an iPhone X and never used this feature except for showing it to the kids. But hey, I never thought of using it without talking! Sounds like a great idea to create personal emoji as you say. I'll give it a try.
- jvzr 9y agoIn case you didn't know, and if I read that correctly, you can just tap the animoji (when making a face) and it will insert as a still image.
- scarlac 9y agoI think you got it wrong - the technology behind it did not manifest itself as Animojis. It manifested itself as Face ID.
- douglaswlance 9y agoAnimoji is done only with the camera. No IR sensors are involved.
