🐵 Animoji on iOS and iPadOS

iOS includes an animated emoji feature known as Animoji. This responds to facial expressions via the camera to animate 3D animated emojis which can be sent as a video with sound.

Animoji is joined by a 3D avatar feature on iOS called Memoji.

Existing emojis remain static on the emoji keyboard, and when used within text. The following characters are available for animation using Animoji in iOS 11 and above:
