Greetings, Amit_kamat!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you’re having an issue accessing the option to use Memoji on your iPhone. Please check out this article for How to use Memoji on your iPhone or iPad Pro to be sure you’re following the proper steps to create and access Memojis. Then, be sure you're following the proper steps to use Camera Effects:


"Use Camera Effects with your Memoji

With iOS 12 and later, and iPadOS, you can use Camera Effects to liven up your conversations even more. Quickly create and share a photo or video with Memoji:

  1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button  to create a new message. Or go to an existing conversation.
  2. Tap the Camera button , then take a photo or video.
  3. Tap the effects button , tap the Animoji button  , then pick the Memoji that you want to use. You can add more effects to your photo or video.
  4. After you pick your Memoji, tap  in the bottom-right corner, then tap .
  5. Tap the Send button  or tap Done to add a personal message before you send your photo. If you don't want to send the photo, tap  in the upper-right corner of the photo."


If you are still having an issue, check out these steps to Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and be sure you’re running the latest software version available for your iPhone. 


Let us know the results and have a great day!

I can’t tap that camera icon I tried everything read all the instructions watched YouTube videos. I had purchased iPhone XR like 1 and half years ago before iphone 11 launch my system is iOS 13+ updated still I can’t get it I think you guys have to add and fix this issue a lot of iPhone XR users can’t use live memoji in camera. My friend has iPhone XR and he can access it but I can’t just fix this issue in the next update please I have not tried FaceTime yet cause not many people use apple products in my country
