I find Animoji kind of overrated. Sure, it's fun for a while, but I don't see the point in sending animated emojis instead of just regular ones. It feels a bit gimmicky to me.
I just tried using Animoji for the first time. It was a blast! I loved how it mimicked my facial expressions.
Does anyone know if I can use Animoji during FaceTime calls as well? I think that would be so much fun!
I'm curious, can I save Animoji videos directly to my camera roll after recording them? That way I can share them on social media easily!
