How to Fix Animoji Problems – Guide
The iPhone X’s Animoji feature allows users to create and send animated emojis with facial expressions that mimic those of a dog, cat, unicorn, robot or even poop. However, when the feature malfunctions and stops tracking faces or freezes up, users may be left without their fun messages.
Having trouble getting Animoji to match your facial expressions? Make sure you have enough light. Animoji uses ARKit, which requires light for proper head tracking and facial expression matching, rather than Face ID.
What if Animoji doesn’t match your head movements or facial expressions?
To use Animoji, users must have certain components in place for the feature to work properly.
Animoji requires good lighting for head tracking and facial expression matching to work properly. To ensure the best results, users should position their face in the yellow box that appears on the screen. The more light, the better.
To ensure your Animoji performance is captured accurately, keep your iPhone X steady and in front of you at all times. The TrueDepth camera requires a clear view of you to create the desired effect.
What if Animoji stutters or freezes while you try to record?
For a smooth Animoji experience, users must ensure their device has the necessary hardware to track head and facial movements.
To prevent your Animoji masterpiece from being ruined, make sure to close any intensive apps you’ve been using and restart your iPhone X if necessary. Keep your face within the TrueDepth camera’s field of view for accurate tracking of movements and expressions.
What if your Animoji doesn’t ship?
Tap the submit button to send your Animoji.
