Animoji/memoji not working.

I just recently updated my ios to ios14. Im using an iphone 11. But every time i want to send an animoji, I’m getting an error “face tracking failed” . I don’t have a phone case. I wipe the camera lens. I also went outside for some sunlight. But its still not working. My face id works fine. What can i do?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello Cherrub,


It looks like you're experiencing an issue with your Face tracking failing when you're trying to use your Animoji. If we haven't captured the issue completely, please feel free to correct us.


A great place to start would be to force quit your messages application and restart your device to see if the issue persists.
