Animoji face tracking failed

Hi does anyone know how to fix the Animoji app when it says “face tracking failed”? No matter how many times I tap to retry it keeps failing.


My front camera is working, clear, and has enough lighting. My faceID is also working normally.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 11

Hello Chi1126,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble with Animoji. I’m happy to help.


To start, make sure that your front facing camera isn’t covered by a case or screen protector.


I also suggest making sure you’re running the latest iOS version:

Then, make sure you’ve followed the steps below to ensure you’ve set up Animoji correctly:

Take care.
